Federal agents have spent nearly a week moving through Danbury, Bridgeport and Stamford picking people up off sidewalks, out of parking lots and away from school bus stops, and Connecticut advocates say the pattern looks nothing like what they had grown used to. Two separate volunteer networks have spent the week racing between neighborhoods trying to document who is being taken, and by Thursday the more detailed of those two running counts had climbed to nearly 100 statewide, with no public list of names or charges released by the government. For Latino communities in Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and South Florida, several pieces of the Connecticut playbook will look familiar. Others do not, and the differences say as much about the current enforcement landscape as the similarities do.
