Roger, An Ecuadorean Immigrant Arrested In East Haven
Roger, an East Haven resident and Ecuadorean immigrant who asked that his last name not be used, was arrested in East Haven last Monday for a motor vehicle violation.
The arresting officer threatened him with deportation after Roger admitted he was in the country illegally. After being booked, he was ordered to take off his clothes. He spent the night shivering in his underwear in a cell before a judge released him the next day on a written promise to show up for court next month, the common procedure for minor charges. His case is likely to be reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice as it investigates what it called allegations of patterns or practices of discrimination by East Haven police. |
