On Saturday night in Danbury, Connecticut, a group of about a dozen white supremacists rallied outside the police station with inflammatory signs and chants supporting racist ideologies. The protesters chanted "white power" and held up signs such as “Keep New England White.” Mayor Roberto Alves strongly condemned the rally, highlighting that Danbury recently allowed noncitizens to join the police force. The city’s decision was in response to a vote by the Danbury City Council allowing permanent legal residents and DACA recipients to become police officers.
