“We commend local, state and federal law enforcement on this coordinated effort to make Hartford’s streets safer.

Had these arrested individuals been violent illegal immigrants, current Connecticut law would have prevented this invaluable communication.

Connecticut Republicans will push to repeal that short-sighted 2019 law which made Connecticut less safe.”
