DANBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — A Connecticut state official responded to several recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids across the state Wednesday.
ICE officials said in a statement Wednesday that their agents worked with other federal agencies for several days last week to arrest 65 people, 29 of whom had criminal records.

The presence of ICE in Connecticut has garnered national attention after Democratic State Representative Corey Paris, D-Stamford, took to social media to warn his constituents of reported activity in his district.
The post led to a conservative social media account to call for Paris’ arrest, ICE itself amplified that call and Paris said he has received death treats in the days since.
