Political correctness gone amuck

A New Haven Register copyrighted article with a headline reading Danbury, ICE to pay in civil rights case reports that profiling is costing the town of Danbury and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) $650,000 because Danbury police arrested 8 illegal immigrants and turned them over to ICE.

The 8 are to be deported.

Why the windfall for breaking the law?

According to the New Haven Register article, because (a) the men were profiled and (b) because the Danbury PD failed to charge the 8 with a violation of municipal law . . . the police apparently are not allowed to charge criminals with violation of federal law.
