Bridgeport lawmakers call ICE arrest at bus stop ‘executive overreach’
Connecticut lawmakers are condemning an ICE arrest in Bridgeport, where Javier Anibal Melgar was detained while waiting at his son’s school bus stop one week ago, calling it a violation of “sensitive location policies” and “executive overreach.”
While ICE reports that protocols were followed to ensure the safety of the minor, state officials are advocating for the Bridgeport resident and calling for him to receive due process.
