Letter: More fair reporting on Fair Haven, please
I commend the News for its in-depth investigation of the 2007 immigration raids in Fair Haven (“A safe haven, raided,” Sept. 28, and “The unmaking of a haven,” Sept. 29). The pieces offered a thorough description of the event, including police records and interviews with “more than 50 people,” including folks who were arrested.
I am deeply disappointed, however, that the same critical analysis was not provided for the New Haven Police Department’s “story” on a Fair Haven prostitution sting (“Police charge nine women in prostitution sting,” Sept. 29). The piece reads like a NHPD press...
Prostitutes, illegal aliens, murderers and other criminal are all part of the charming mosaic that is New Haven.
Rather than persecute these unfortunates we should celebrate the "diversity" they bring to our fair city!
