Meanwhile, Fairfield First Selectperson Christine Vitale wrote a statement Jan. 27 to the public criticizing federal ICE action in Minnesota over the past week. “This past weekend brought snow, but it also brought more disturbing news and heartbreaking images out of Minneapolis,” Vitale wrote. In her statement, the first selectperson raised the relevance of the state Trust Act. “The Trust Act protects civil liberties and ensures the local and state police are not deputized to carry out federal immigration enforcement,” Vitale wrote. The Trump Administration has created a culture in ICE that allows for federal agents to violate Americans’ civil rights.
