“City officials and leaders of immigrant groups are watching a lawsuit against the village of Mamaroneck, N.Y., that could further define the rights of day laborers in Danbury and other communities nationwide.

Six unidentified day laborers filed a lawsuit earlier this year in Federal District Court in White Plains, N.Y., alleging that the village violated the 14th Amendment by closing down the village-designated hiring site and harassing day workers as part of a larger plan to remove them from the area.”
