Bloomfield Morning Brief, Oct. 30: Council adopts ICE cooperation limits

From Bloomfield News

• Council adopts ICE cooperation limits Bloomfield's Town Council took up a resolution to limit town staff cooperation with federal immigration enforcement after Councilor Darrell Goodwin pointed to warnings of stepped-up ICE activity in Connecticut and a recent raid in Newington. The same meeting revived long-tabled appointments to the Board of Assessment Appeals, shelved since September amid resident anger over revaluation-driven tax hikes.Bloomfield News
