2020-06-13@11:00pm–An overnight protest in front of the Police Headquarters has the Congress at Lyon Terrace blocked off. No wonder why Mayor Ganim wants to keep you in the dark. He says Black Lives Matter, but his actions speak otherwise by shutting down the press radios so we can’t report on it. The protesters are supposed to remain over the weekend I was told. Nothing official from the protesters and especially not from the police or the mayor.
1:33am–#Bridgeport CT– Firefighters still putting out hot spots and it extended to another building so they are still on the scene six hours later. Most of the mutual aid from surrounding towns started leaving around 11pm.

Radio reports say this is a defensive attack now, which means now one in the building. All firefighting will be from the exterior.

WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) sent a letter to Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Director Michael Carvajal seeking an explanation for BOP’s failed response to the spread of COVID-19 at FCI Danbury. The letter follows a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing “Examining Best Practices for Incarceration and Detention During COVID-19,” during which Blumenthal questioned Carvajal on BOP’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak at FCI Danbury. As of June 5, 2020, 98 inmates and 61 staff members at FCI Danbury have tested positive and one inmate has died.
“In your testimony, you repeatedly told Senator Blumenthal that you would “get” or “look into” the information that you did not know then. Sadly, BOP provided minimal additional information following your testimony, and failed to seriously address any of Senator Blumenthal’s questions,” wrote the Senators.
This is the third letter Blumenthal and Murphy have sent to Carvajal regarding the COVID-19 response at FCI Danbury. Letters sent on April 13, 2020 and May 1, 2020 expressed significant concerns that FCI Danbury will continue to be a hotspot for COVID-19, putting inmates, staff, and the greater community at risk.
“Serving time or working inside a prison should not be a sentence to sickness or death. Your failure to answer questions both during the hearing and afterwards calls into question whether BOP is taking appropriate measures to protect inmates and correctional officers from this disease. That is why we are writing once again to seek a response to these important questions,” the Senators continued.
