A mid-sized city in Connecticut has sparked anger from Team Trump after its city council decided to let potentially violent illegal aliens serve as cops.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Danbury City Council voted 18-2 on September 1 to allow non-citizen legal migrants and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients to serve as police officers. The two dissenting votes came from Republicans.
DACA residents, of course, are individuals who entered America illegally when they were children.

One council member, Democrat Joe Britton, called the vote “timely” and said it “sends a message to our immigrant community at large that you are welcome in Danbury.”

This move by the Danbury City Council comes after more than 65 illegals were arrested in the city of roughly 90,000 people back in August.
Many had violent criminal records, including for sexual assault and child molestation.
