Danbury, CT City Council just voted to allow NON CITIZENS and DACA recipients to become police officers

DHS Fires Back After Danbury Council Votes 18-2 to Allow Noncitizens and DACA Recipients as Police

The Danbury City Council in Connecticut has approved a policy allowing non-citizen legal migrants and recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to serve as police officers.

The council voted 18-2 on September 1. Both dissenting votes came from Republicans. The decision has triggered a sharp response from the Trump administration, especially after recent arrests involving illegal immigrants in the city.

DACA recipients are individuals who entered the United States illegally as children and were later given temporary protection from deportation under the program. The Danbury policy now opens the door for them and other noncitizens to serve in law enforcement.

Video of the vote and the policy announcement circulated online through Libs of TikTok.
