- White House border czar Tom Homan defended ICE's actions on CNN, stating the agency is enforcing immigration laws targeting illegal aliens with final removal orders, though he denied knowledge of arrests specifically at bus stops.
- Senator Richard Blumenthal challenged the administration's claims, asserting that most detainees lack serious criminal history and many have legal status or asylum claims, describing the enforcement as cruel and inhumane.
- Blumenthal plans to walk through Danbury with the mayor and hopes to hold a forum with the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to examine the increased immigration enforcement in Connecticut.
