康涅狄格州丹伯里市一个由民主党占多数的市议会因新的警察招录指导方针遭到强烈反对，美国国土安全部称该政策“鼓励犯罪的非法移民”。
市议会上周以18票赞成、2票反对的结果通过法案，允许合法居留的非公民移民及童年暂缓遣返计划（DACA）受益人担任警察。市议员、民主党人乔·布里顿表示，考虑到该地区近期的移民海关执法局（ICE）行动，此次投票“恰逢其时”，并“向广大移民群体传递一个信号：丹伯里欢迎你们”。
作为回应，国土安全部的一名发言人反驳称，市议会“应该感谢我们的执法人员将这些危险罪犯从康涅狄格州驱逐出境——而非诋毁执法人员”。
“就职宣誓是对维护法律的承诺，而非鼓励犯罪的非法移民继续违法，”该发言人补充道，称“当这些人诋毁移民海关执法局时，执法人员正在逮捕罪犯，挽救无数美国人的生命”。

当人群中的抗议者呼吁采取更直接的行动对抗ICE突袭时，丹伯里市市长罗伯托·阿尔维斯于2026年8月26日与州长内德·拉蒙特、国会众议员贾哈娜·海斯以及参议员克里斯·墨菲一同出席在康涅狄格州丹伯里市肯尼迪公园举行的活动，谴责该机构的行动。该机构周一和周二拘留了数十人。他表示，无论移民身份如何，每个人在这个国家都拥有宪法权利，并鼓励活动人士在安全距离外拍摄执法人员。（瑞安·卡隆·金/康涅狄格公共广播公司通过盖蒂图片社拍摄）
布里顿否认了这些指控，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“国土安全部在攻击我从未提出过的论点”，并且“我并不反对逮捕暴力罪犯”。
根据移民海关执法局的一份新闻稿，8月份在康涅狄格州的ICE行动共逮捕了65多人。这些逮捕行动引发了社区公众的愤怒，包括布里顿在内的市政官员也对此表示不满，他称这些突袭行动“令人恐惧”，是“移民执法官员对丹伯里的联邦入侵”。
然而，国土安全部告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，ICE逮捕的非法移民均有犯罪前科，包括袭击、性侵犯、非法拘禁和猥亵未成年人。
根据国土安全部的消息，其中一名被捕者、来自危地马拉的埃迪·鲁阿诺曾因猥亵未成年人被定罪。另一名危地马拉国民埃里克科·巴伦苏埃拉-丘亚在康涅狄格州被捕，此前他因性侵犯-肉体伤害、性侵犯和袭击罪被定罪。

尼加拉瓜国民埃尔文·卡塞雷斯-马丁内斯也在此次行动中被捕，此前他因袭击、武器违规、持枪严重袭击、用武力对非家庭成员实施严重袭击以及携带违禁武器被定罪。
与此同时，因性侵犯和非法拘禁被定罪的厄瓜多尔国民弗兰克·瓜曼也在此次行动中被捕。
国土安全部的发言人强调，“对ICE的诋毁必须停止”，因为“美国勇敢的ICE特工每天都冒着生命危险执行美国法律，逮捕犯罪的非法移民——包括帮派成员、强奸犯和杀人犯”。
针对布里顿对该地区ICE行动的批评，该发言人表示：“这种言论导致针对他们的袭击事件激增了1300%以上，而他们正冒着生命危险开展工作。”

福克斯新闻数字频道也联系了丹伯里市市长罗伯托·阿尔维斯的办公室征求评论。
布里顿告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“国土安全部在攻击我从未提出过的论点。”
“我并不反对逮捕暴力罪犯，”布里顿说，“我反对的是利用少数几起严重刑事案件来证明那些制造恐慌的执法策略是合理的，这些策略让整个移民社区感到自己被当作目标。”
他表示，“当居民信任地方政府和执法部门时，丹伯里才会更安全，而不是当无辜的家庭害怕仅仅去上班、上学或教堂就可能让他们陷入移民突袭，面临拘留或逮捕”。
布里顿补充道，“支持执法部门并不意味着在联邦执法在我们社区制造不必要的恐惧时保持沉默”。

A Democrat-dominated city council in Danbury, Connecticut, is facing backlash over new police guidance that the Department of Homeland Security says is “encouraging criminal illegal aliens.”
The city council voted 18-2 last week to approve non-citizen legal immigrants and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients serving as police officers. One city council member, Democrat Joe Britton, remarked that the vote was “timely” considering recent ICE operations in the area and “sends a message to our immigrant community at large that you are welcome in Danbury.”
In response, a spokesperson for DHS fired back that the city council “should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these dangerous criminals from Connecticut—NOT vilifying law enforcement.”
“An oath of office is a commitment to upholding the law, not encouraging criminal illegal aliens to break it,” the spokesperson added, saying that “while these people smear ICE, law enforcement is arresting criminals and saving countless American lives.”

Britton denied these claims, telling Fox News Digital that “DHS is attacking an argument I never made” and “I have no objection to arresting violent criminals.”
August ICE operations in Connecticut resulted in more than 65 arrests, according to an ICE news release. The arrests prompted public outrage in the community, including from city officials such as Britton, who called the raids “frightening” and a “federal invasion of immigration officials in Danbury.”
DHS, however, told Fox News Digital that ICE arrested illegal immigrants with criminal convictions including assault, sexual assault, false imprisonment and molestation of a minor.
One arrestee, Eddy Ruano, from Guatemala, was convicted of molestation of a minor, according to DHS. Another Guatemalan national, Ericko Valenuela-Chua, was arrested in Connecticut after being convicted of sex assault-carnal abuse, sex assault and assault.

A Nicaraguan national, Elvin Caceres-Martinez, was also arrested during the operation and was convicted of assault, weapon offense, aggravated assault with a gun, aggravated assault of a non-family with strongarm and carrying a prohibited weapon.
Meanwhile, Ecuadorian national Frank Guaman, convicted of sex assault and false imprisonment, was also arrested in the operation.
The DHS spokesperson stressed that “the vilification of ICE must stop” as “America’s brave ICE agents put their lives on the line every day to enforce U.S. law and arrest criminal illegal aliens—including gang members, rapists, and murderers.”
Regarding Britton’s critiques of ICE in the area, the spokesperson said that “this type of rhetoric is contributing to a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line.”

Fox News Digital also reached out to the office of Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves for comment.
Britton told Fox News Digital that “DHS is attacking an argument I never made.”
“I have no objection to arresting violent criminals,” said Britton. “What I object to is using a handful of serious criminal cases to justify fear-driven enforcement tactics that make entire immigrant communities feel targeted.”
He said that “Danbury is safer when residents trust local government and law enforcement, not when innocent families are afraid that simply going to work, school, or church could put them in the middle of an immigration raid and subject themselves to detention or arrest.”

Britton added that “supporting law enforcement does not require remaining silent when federal enforcement creates unnecessary fear in our community.”
