Danbury, Connecticut’s city council votes 18–2 to allow non-citizen immigrants, including people covered by DACA, to serve as city police officers. The decision comes amid continued federal enforcement activity involving ICE raids in the area.
Both outlets describe the vote as a response to the broader immigration enforcement environment. Fox News frames the debate around remarks by a Democrat who characterizes ICE activity as an “invasion” that “sends a message,” while Breitbart highlights that the measure is approved by a “Democrat-run” city council after ICE raids. Despite differences in emphasis and political framing, both accounts agree on the key facts: the locality where the vote occurs, the margin of approval, and that non-citizen and DACA recipients are eligible to become police officers.
