Connecticut
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in Connecticut (CT) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside Connecticut counts here.
This is not the same set as Connecticut's jurisdiction page, which records the 1 entry where Connecticut's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

ICE agents tased and kicked a restrained Danbury, Connecticut man during an arrest, then moved him before family could reach him
ICE agents arrested a construction worker in Danbury, Connecticut on the morning of August 27, 2026, pulling him from his car, pinning him face down on a driveway, and tasing him twice while he was restrained; video appears to show an agent kicking him as well. An ambulance took him to Danbury Hospital, where ICE blocked his family and attorney from seeing him before transporting him to Hartford; Mayor Roberto Alves intervened by phone with the hospital but the man had already been moved. The arrest was part of a week-long ICE enforcement surge in Danbury that advocates say detained nearly 60 people.

ACLU-CT lawsuit alleges DOJ's Hartford immigration court withheld docket, removal-order data for months, blocking public oversight of removals
On September 9, 2026, the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut sued U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and Angela Munson, chief immigration judge of the Hartford, Connecticut immigration court, alleging the court had twice ignored requests for all docket numbers and case captions from May through July 2026 and all in-absentia removal orders issued in that window. ACLU-CT argues the First Amendment entitles the public to that information without going through a Freedom of Information Act request, which can take months and defeats near-real-time oversight of removal and in-absentia cases. The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

Connecticut prison officers struck and pepper-sprayed inmate J'Allen Jones, who died; medical examiner ruled the death a homicide
On March 25, 2018, correctional officers at Connecticut's Garner Correctional Institution struck, hooded, and pepper-sprayed J'Allen Jones, a 31-year-old incarcerated man in a schizophrenic crisis, who then lost consciousness and died. The state medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, but a Department of Correction internal review found no use-of-force violation and imposed one-day suspensions on the officers and a nurse. The department fought for years to keep video of the death sealed, until a judge ordered its public release in 2026.
