DANBURY -- The arrests one week ago of four illegal immigrants wanted on deportation warrants marked the seventh known stop by federal immigration agents in Danbury since the beginning of the year.
But it's only the second known time the arrested illegal immigrants likely were not violent criminals or convicted felons.
"I don't have any statistics, but I believe there are more frequent examinations of businesses and locations for illegal immigrants who don't necessarily have a criminal background," said Kevin Dehghani, an immigration lawyer in New Haven.
Agents from U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement arrested three men Oct. 11 after checking last-known addresses of fugitives in Danbury. The fourth man was arrested after a routine traffic stop on Balmforth Avenue.
A total of 23 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Danbury this year by ICE; another man was detained for what authorities called invalid citizenship papers.
