Officers have seized nine kilograms of heroin with an estimated street value of over one million dollars in Hartford on Monday.

Detectives from Vice & Narcotics initiated an investigation that identified several suspects engaged in the selling of large quantities of heroin and were believed to be armed.

Officers were able to obtain a search warrant for a storage unit at U-Haul Self Storage on Capitol Avenue.

According to investigators, they found found nine kilograms of heroin and two semi-automatic guns during the search.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.

Police are investigating after a woman in her mid 30's was found naked with tape on her mouth in New Haven on Tuesday morning.

Officers say a passerby found the woman on Victory Drive and Rock Creek Road and called police around 6:46 a.m. According to police, she was found naked on the ground with red tape on her mouth. There was also blood and tape found on the ground.

The woman was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital. 

Police say she does not live in the immediate area, but they do not know where she is from.

Detectives are investigating the situation and the Bureau of Investigations is doing forensics.

The Food and Drug Agency Administration, aiming to be more accommodating to chronic pain patients, held a meeting this week to hear people's stories about their pain, NBC News reported.

Several dozen people traveled to FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, and the room was full of very unhappy people. One lay on the floor, another eased her back on the wall, another paced.

"Suicide is always an option for us," said Mariann Farrell, a Pittsburgh resident who says she has multiple conditions, including fibromyalgia.

The agency is considering how to account for the needs of people with chronic, intractable pain while also dealing with the opioid addiction crisis.

They sit strong, the three of them, laughing at times, fighting back tears at times, and reassuring each other, as best they can, that there will never be another night like July 7, 2016.

"The first year to me, it didn't even feel real. I still expected him to come home every night, for the garage door to open," said Heidi Smith, wife of Dallas police Sgt. Michael Smith, one of five Dallas officers who were gunned down and killed in an ambush.

"I still have moments when I feel that way," said Heidi.

In a matter of minutes, as a peaceful protest moved through Downtown Dallas, gunfire rained down on unsuspecting police officers, wounding seven and killing five – Sgt. Smith, Dallas officers Patrick Zamarripa and Michael Krol, Dallas Sr. Cpl. Lorne Ahrens and DART Officer Brent Thompson.

The orderly demonstration was shattered shortly before 9 p.m., when high-powered gunfire erupted from weapons, allegedly triggered by Micah Johnson, a war veteran with a supposed grudge against white police officers.

His name was never mentioned when Heidi Smith, Kristy Zamarripa and Emily Thompson, DART Officer Brent Thompson’s wife, talked exclusively to NBC 5 News.

Instead, they talked about life before, during and after the attack.

… About how public their losses were, when they so desperately needed privacy to grieve, as the world tried to make sense of yet another mass shooting.

…. About how at times they still lock themselves in a room, hoping their children won't hear them suffer.

Kristy, for instance: "Sometimes I cry louder than I want to, or mean to, and I'm pretty sure they hear me. But I think they'll be OK."

They talked about how life can turn in an instant.

Like for Emily: "Brent and I, when everything happened, we were married a little over two weeks and we were just getting settled into an initial normal ... We hadn't even had our honeymoon."

And how, at times, they would wonder whether, somehow, they contributed to their husbands' deaths.

As unlikely as it seems, Kristy agonized that a text she sent to her husband – of a fun moment - may have diverted his attention, if only for seconds, leaving him vulnerable as the madness began.

It wouldn't be until later that she learned Patrick had left his phone in his patrol car, when he got out to stand guard during the protest.

For Heidi, an unforgettable moment came the night before the shootings, when her husband pulled her away from their two young daughters and whispered he was worried about the upcoming protest.

"I just have a bad feeling about it," he told her.

Heidi said she dismissed his concerns at the time, knowing he was assigned to the North Central patrol station - far from downtown Dallas.

But all that changed the next day when Smith went to work, learned a less experienced sergeant from the station was assigned to work the protest, and, instead, volunteered to take her place.

During the interview, all three women expressed their gratitude for the support they've received from the community, including receiving hundreds of letters, many of them from children.

They also said they were grateful for the help they've received from their "police family," including the Dallas Police Department, the Dallas Police Association and the Dallas-based Assist the Officer Foundation.

"All the organizations that pulled together and took in donations and did fundraisers have been there for us," Heidi said.

Plus, they said, they have each other, in a close bond cemented by tragedy.

"I don't feel alone," said Emily.

Kristy agreed, saying, "It's horrible how we became friends and family. But I'm thankful for these two…It's a forever bond."

Officers in Southington have arrested a woman after they say she drove while under the influence of alcohol with a teenager in her car last week.

Police say they received a call about 33-year-old Janessa Ives, of Southington, driving a vehicle erratically on July 3. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.

Officers located Ives and the vehicle and later determined she was intoxicated.

According to police, at the time of the incident, Ives had a 15-year-old in the vehicle with her.

Ives was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and risk of injury to a minor. She was released on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 16.

The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) filed a non-injury grievance against the NFL over the league's new anthem policy, the union said Tuesday.

The new policy, which was unanimously approved by team owners in May, requires players to stand if they are on the field when the anthem is performed but gives them the option to remain in the locker room if they prefer.

The new policy was enacted after several players, including then-San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid, began kneeling to highlight police violence against minorities.

The players union claims the policy was created without their consultation and is inconsistent with the league's collective bargaining agreement and infringes on their rights.

The NFLPA said it proposed that the NFL begin confidential discussions with union leadership to find a solution and that the league has agreed to the discussions.

NBC is reaching out to the NFL for comment. 

Kaepernick and Reid chose kneeling as their form of protest after meeting with Nate Boyer, a retired Green Beret and former NFL player.

But some, like President Donald Trump, criticized the gesture as anti-patriotic and disrespectful. Americans were split on the protests, according to an HBO Real Sports/Marist poll conducted in October.

In December, the NFL agreed to commit $90 million over seven seasons to social social justice causes in response to the anthem protests.

However, with litigation pending against the league for alleged collusion against Kaepernick and other players who protested and uncertainty about the future of player protests, the owners voted in May to change the league's anthem policy.

Under the new policy, teams whose players do not "stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem" will be fined and the league commissioner will "impose appropriate discipline" on those who do not comply.

A Cook County Forest Preserve police officer is under investigation after video appeared to show him ignoring a woman’s pleas for help as a man berated her for wearing a Puerto Rico shirt last month during a birthday party at an area park, according to the Forest Preserves. The man seen in viral video of the encounter has been charged with assault, authorities said.

Mia Irizarry filmed the scene at the Caldwell Woods forest preserve on Facebook Live as the unidentified man began telling her her shirt with the Puerto Rican flag on it should not be worn “in the United States of America.”

The video shows the woman asking a nearby Forest Preserves officer for help, but the officer does not appear to stop the man, who continues his rant and gets increasingly closer to Irizarry in the space she said she had rented that afternoon.

“Officer, I feel highly uncomfortable; can you please grab him?” she is heard saying on the footage.

The officer then turns around and walks back toward his car.

“Why is she wearing that sh--?” the man shouts.

The man questions if Irizarry is a citizen of the U.S. and continues to shout at her as she pleads with the officer to remove the man from the space, footage shows. 

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and residents on the island are American citizens.

Eventually, other park guests arrive at the scene and get involved. The officer then says something to the man, who continues to argue with those at the park as the officer stands by him. Other officers arrive several minutes later and one eventually takes down Irizarry’s information and her account of what happened. 

The man involved, who authorities said was intoxicated, was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct, the forest preserve said. 

Though the footage had already been seen over a million times after it was first posted in early June, new postings of the video have prompted responses from the forest preserve and even the governor of Puerto Rico.

“We are aware of the the [sic] June 14 incident and video,” the Forest Preserves tweeted Monday. “After the incident, we immediately launched an investigation pursuant to our personnel policies into the response of our officer.”

The forest preserve added the investigation remained ongoing as of Monday and the officer involved was assigned to desk duty pending the outcome.

“All people are welcome in the Forest Preserves of Cook County and no one should feel unsafe while visiting our preserves,” their tweet read.

Ricardo Rossello, the governor of Puerto Rico, also began tweeting about the “undignified event.”

“I am appalled, shocked & disturbed by the officer’s behavior,” he wrote. “We will be looking into this incident as our offices in DC are in contact with local and state authorities, demanding that this officer be expelled from the police force. He failed to deescalate the situation and therefore did not ensure a citizen’s safety.”

He also called on Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to “take matter [sic] into her hands.”

“The United States of America is a nation that was built and thrives on diversity,” he wrote. “We cannot allow those who do not understand America’s greatness to terrorize people because of their background. This is not the America we all believe in.”

Preckwinkle said she apologizes to the woman, calling the man in the footage "abusive and offensive." 

She said her office plans to speak with the governor's staff Tuesday and will interview all officers at the scene as well as the victim. 

Rep. Luis Gutierrez took to Twitter to react to the video, calling for a need to "stand up to bigotry & bullies." 

"There's a culture of bigotry & hate that's been condoned in US, which now feels unleashed to express itself in the most ugly & aggressive ways," he wrote. "In this case, a US citizen questions the citizenship of another US citizen and American law-enforcement just sits back and watches. I don’t care that she is Puerto Rican or wearing a Puerto Rican flag t-shirt just because I'm Puerto Rican. We all should care because we are decent human beings & need to stand up to bigotry & bullies..." 

Ninety-two-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez walks around his neighborhood every day, usually with his wife.

But on the Fourth of July, Rodriguez says a woman beat him with a brick after he bumped into her toddler on the sidewalk just a few feet from his home in Willowbrook.

Once on the ground, a group of men started kicking him until a bystander saw what was happening and called 911. The female attacker told Rodriguez, a legal U.S. resident, to go back to his own country.

"I see her hit him," said Misbel Borjas, the woman who called police and recorded the video on a cellphone.

Rodriguez was hospitalized with broken ribs and severe cuts to his face. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has launched an investigation to find the attackers.

"Who would do this to anybody?" said Rodriguez's grandson Erik Mendoza. "A 92-year-old senior citizen, what can he do to anybody? There's no harm that he meant."

Rodriguez wants his assailants to be punished and to pay his medical bills.

"It was their fault they tossed me to the ground," he said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Department at 323-568-4800.

Newgate Prison in East Granby will be back open for the public this weekend.

The Revolutionary War-era prison and copper mine will be open for the public on Saturday for the first time in years.

The historic site was once a museum and historic site run by the state, but it fell into disrepair. A few years ago the state invested new money to restore the buildings on site, and to make the copper mine usable for visitors.

The governor said the site is a way to drive more visitors looking to experience history in Connecticut.

“It is a big draw. There are people who travel from around a very large geographic area and quite frankly it’s been a very large attraction to international travel as well,” Malloy said.

Newgate Prison will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 5 and it will have limited hours on Mondays and Fridays. Tour groups can also set up visits.

Naugatuck police are trying to locate two 16-year-old girls who missed curfew and didn’t return home Monday night.

Police are searching for 16-year-old Christine Carrero and 16-year-old Whitney Carrero. The girls’ foster parent said they last spoke with the girls around 3 p.m. on Monday. The girls may be in the Waterbury area.

Christine is described as 5-foot-6, 125 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. Whitney is described as 5-foot-7, 115 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair with blonde streaks.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts should contact Naugatuck police at 203-729-5221.

A mulch fire caused quite the scene at the Stop & Shop on New Park Avenue in Hartford Tuesday.

Fire officials said crews responded to a report of a fire just after 3 p.m. When they arrived, they found a mulch fire that had extended to two vehicles.

Firefighters extinguished the fire, which damaged an area approximately 20 feet by 40 feet. No one was hurt, but the flames did cause a spectacle.

“It started off a little bit of smoke so when I saw that I ran inside and got somebody. And the wind took it and it spread to the bushes and the tree and everything. It was crazy,” said witness Brittney Varreroni.

The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.

There is a warning to be on the look for coyotes in the East Shore section of New Haven.

“Usually coyotes come out in the evening,” New Haven Police spokesperson David Hartman said. “If you see a coyote in broad daylight something may be additionally wrong.”

People who frequently visit East Shore Park said it is common to see coyotes in the summertime.

Even though attacks on humans are rare, police say the key is to stay away and not engage coyotes, especially when you’re with a four-legged friend.

NBC Connecticut captured video of a coyote in early May at Milford’s Silver Sands State Park.

The recent reports of sightings have been by Morris Cove, East Shore Park and Tweed Airport in New Haven.

“Make sure trash cans have lids that lock,” Hartman said. “If you’re having picnic bring everything in, even residue from cooking on a grill is going be enough to draw their attention.”

Liz Berger brings her dog Roxy to East Shore park.

“There is some concern,” she told NBC Connecticut. “I just keep her on a leash and make sure that if I see anything I keep good eye around me I pick her up and make sure she doesn’t get dragged off.”

Berger’s friend Linda Cusano said she does not feel threatened by coyotes.

“We go the other way,” Cusano said, “you know they belong here same way we do, they’re just looking to survive they’re not interested in you, they’re just looking (for) food.”

Police encourage people to report coyote sightings to them so they can refer that information to the Department of Environmental and Energy Protection.

“I guess I would call animal control right away if you do see one,” Berger said, “but I know this area is known for coyotes.”

There is a serene setting by Long Island Sound that is a place in West Haven to honor those who have served and defended our country’s freedom.

“Even walking around here when you see the memorials you and read some of the names, you get a feel for those men and women who gave everything so that we can have a place like this,” John Boester of West Haven told NBC Connecticut Tuesday morning.

Along the walking path by the war memorials, people purchased bricks engraved with personalized messages to pay respect to veterans.

Monday morning on a Facebook forum, one woman from West Haven shared her displeasure with the lack of park upkeep.

“They usually take pretty good care of it, I mean they are popping through,” Boester said of weeds he saw during his walk.

Jill Kalici from Seymour noticed the weeds, too.

“I’m not really happy to see that it’s been let go like,” she said. “It’s nice if they just respect it a little bit more after all they’ve been veterans.”

NBC Connecticut called the office of West Haven Mayor Nancy Rossi (D). The interim Public Works director said he has been made aware of the weeds growing through the bricks, adding the plan is to clean them up in the next day or two.

“When a concern is brought and they respond,” Boester said, “it’s all you can ask, it’s pretty good.”

Next time she comes back, Kalici said she hopes all the weeds will be gone.

“I’m thrilled,” Kalici said. “I’m glad that they’re taking action of course, it should be cleaned up it would probably take a few hours and it’s not much work.”

With five weeks to go until the first votes are cast in the race for governor, the issue of a proposed state police gun range and training facility in Griswold was front and center in the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

Ned Lamont, a Greenwich businessman and endorsed Democrat, met with families who live in Griswold within earshot of the proposed gun range.

“I’m a strong supporter of the state police and I promise you they are going to get a great training facility but I don’t believe it’s going to be here in Griswold,” Lamont said. “I think that’s the wrong place to be.”

The event at the home, to which Lamont was invited, Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim described as political opportunism.

“Politicizing something just to pander to say, ‘oh, let me get out in front of this thing,’ is not the way that I’ve acted in trying to move forward on important issues as a public official.”

The issue of the gun range goes back about two years as the Connecticut State Police have been looking for a new location for the site. The current facility in Simsbury dates back to the 1940s, and was badly damaged by floods in 2007. The agency has been searching for a new site ever since, and settled on the Griswold site, adjacent to Pachaug State Forest, as the best location due to its rural location, and minimal impact on residents, relative to other proposed locations in the state.

Lamont said he would start a new process to examine other locations and even consider using existing state property for the range.

“[I’m going to be] somebody who looks at all of the assets the state of Connecticut has, the thousands of buildings already, and see if I can better utilize those assets, sell the ones we don’t need and put the gun range in a place that is responsive to the community.”

Gov. Dannel Malloy weighed in on the recent discussion, defending the state police process for settling on the Griswold site.

“There is probably no perfect place and I understand why people don’t want it but the reality is they want the protection,” Malloy said. “They certainly want resident troopers who know how to use the guns.”

Pam Patalano, who organized the group Save Pachaug Forest to protest the gun range, said she feels she has an ally in Lamont. She says she hopes he lives up to his word if he wins the Democratic primary and then the general election.

“We’ve heard crickets from a lot of the political arena and as you heard Ned say, the first thing he’s going to do when he becomes governor is to take care of this gun range issue, right Ned? So we’re really excited to hear those words out of his mouth.”

Torrington police are trying to locate a burglary suspect who entered into a home on Eno Avenue while a girl was sleeping inside.

According to police, the suspect rang the doorbell of the home around 8 a.m. When no one answered the door, the suspect allegedly went around back and entered through an open kitchen window.

A girl who was sleeping in a bedroom at the time heard the suspect enter the home. She encountered the suspect, who left after trying to make an excuse for being inside, according to police.

Police said the suspect did not harm the girl and he did not take anything from the house.

The suspect is described as being in his early 20s, approximately 5-foot-3, with a skinny build, spiky brown hair, brown eyes, and a small patch of facial hair on his lower lip. He had tattoos on his arms and had “missing/decaying teeth.”

Investigators believe the suspect may have been in the area in the days leading up to the incident. Anyone with information or who saw anything suspicious in the area should contact Torrington Police Detective Keith Dablain at 860-489-2040.

A name and phone number on a paddlecraft can save first responders a lot of time and money if a person is separated from their vessel.

That’s why they’re encouraging people in kayaks, canoes, etc. to attach a vessel identification sticker. That way, in an emergency, first responders know who that paddlecraft belongs to.

On the sticker supplied by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), people are asked to list two phone numbers, which could be theirs and a person who knows their game plan. That way responders can account for them or target a specific area to search.

DEEP is making a concerted effort to promote the identification tag this year because they’ve seen the number of paddleboard, kayaks, canoes, etc. on the water go up over the last few years, according to a department spokesperson.

People can also make their own tag.

“We can call that number to verify. At least we have a point where we can start. It would be faster in a recovery and it would be faster to find people and account for them,” said Poquonnock Bridge Fire District Chief Joe Winski.

His firefighters use a “Zodiac,” which is a shallow draft rescue boat. It helps with searches on the Poquonnock River – an area often too shallow during low-tide for a Coast Guard vessel because their draft is too deep, according to Winski.

The tide can change or a vessel hits a wave the wrong way and all of a sudden a person is separated from their paddlecraft, Winski said. And, a missing person rescue or recovery could go many hours, if not days, which ties up resources. In those instances, other departments step in to help fill the need, Winski added.

He encourages boaters to use an identification sticker, too.

DEEP put out an ad saying it could cost more than $11,000 per hour for a response helicopter and over $3,700 for a response boat.

There have already been a number of instances where police sought the help to identify paddlecrafts this summer.

At the end of May, Old Saybrook Police posted on Facebook about an unidentified Kayak found near the mouth of the Connecticut River – which lead to an extensive search and eventual recovery of a Clinton teen.

Last week East Lyme Police posted about identifying a paddleboard that went adrift.

Kenneth and Karen King, of Southington, were kayaking at Bluff Point Tuesday. They wear life jackets, have distress whistles and always let someone know where they are. Now, they’re going to add an ID sticker to their vessels, too.

“It’s just a good point. I didn’t realize it. That if I get separated from the boat, flipped in, the boat went one way – I mean, it could be anybody’s,” Karen King said.

With the summer travel season underway, many vacationers are using hotel websites to book a room. But are you getting the most bang for your buck by surfing the net for the best price?

According to some hotel industry experts, that may not be the case.

"You think that you're getting a deal because you're searching all these different sites and they're competitive. But they're not,” said Jeffry Muthersbaugh, president of the Connecticut Lodging Association, a hotel industry trade association.

Muthersbaugh said a lot of consumers don’t realize that most of those travel sites are owned by one of two companies.

Both Expedia and Booking.com, based in Norwalk, control 95 percent of the third-party booking sites.

And Kevin Brasler with the non-profit, Consumers checkbook, said that dominance has allowed them to essentially set the market.

"They are insisting that hotels offer every room at the same price across all booking channels, including the hotels own websites,” said Kevin Brasler.

Booking.com disputes that claim. A spokesperson told NBC Connecticut:

"Booking.com has absolutely no control over prices, which are determined by the hotels themselves... Booking. com is merely a platform to connect travelers to properties all over the world."

And Expedia said:

“The foundation of our business and brands is matching travelers with the best price for their needs at the best price available for us to offer."

"What the third party websites want to know is, what's the least you'll sell a room for?” said Muthersbaugh.

Muthersbaugh said If it’s $100 or $300 a night, once the booking site buys the room, that site can charge whatever it wants.

“The hotel at that point has no control over it,” said Muthersbaugh.

Muthersbaugh suggests simply picking up the phone to get the best deal.

If you find a lower price online, he said the hotel will probably match it and speaking with a hotel employee can get you free breakfast or an upgrade. He also recommends joining a hotel’s rewards program for additional benefits like free Wi-Fi.

"If you develop those relationships, you get little upgrades and that kind of thing that you might not otherwise get,” Muthersbaugh said.

Consumers checkbook says you can get a good deal through some of the third-parties like Hotwire hot deal and Priceline express deals, if you’re willing to gamble.

Here’s the catch: you don’t know which hotel you’re booking and you can’t cancel once you find out.

A Hartford man faces charges after he called 911 and reported a fake drowning, according to Hartford police.

Hartford police said 34-year-old Jeremiah Grant called 911 to report at drowning child at the Willie Ware Center on Windsor Street Monday. When emergency crews responded, they discovered that there was no child in danger.

According to police, a witness said Grant had been complaining to her that the police did not care about the “poor black community” and dialed 911 to prove his point.

That witness, who asked not to be identified, spoke with NBC Connecticut.

“When he came over be said he called 911 and he wanted to see if the cruiser will show up because he wanted to test to see if they’ll respond to a Black poverty community like this. So he told them a child was drowning," she said.

Grant was arrested and charged with falsely reporting an incident, interfering with police, and breach of peace.

Police said they are familiar with Grant, and that this isn't the first time he's made a false 911 call.

“He was arrested 5 week’s ago for falsely reporting an incident that armed men were outside his house trying to burglarize it. You can imagine that type of response," said Lt. Paul Cicero.

The false drowning report struck a nerve. On July Fourth, 16-year-old Jaevon Whyte drowned in a pool at Keney Park in Hartford. His friends called 911, frantic for help trying to find their missing friend, only to learn he had drowned. 

“Folks are still grappling with the trauma of what happened to That young man in Keney Park, for a grown man to call like that is unsettling," said Andrew Woods, executive director of Hartford Communities That Care.

Community leaders in Hartford who work to mentor the city’s youth, keep the community safe, stop the violence and maintain good relations with police said the racial overtones of the incident hinder their efforts.

"What one individual does or feels doesn’t reflect what law enforcement of an individual does. If people wanna take it to that level with racial undertones that’s on the person. But what happens on a daily basis people can discern what’s racial or not racial," Woods added.

Grant was held on a $30,000 bond.

Enfield police said a dozen traffic stops Monday led to the arrests of nine people, some of whom are now charged with serious crimes.

Police focused on one community that residents say has been a problem for a while.

“If there’s behavior that’s occurring and is inappropriate, law enforcement is there and we’re going to address those concerns,” said Enfield Police Chief Alaric Fox.

Enfield’s chief said he decided to send officers to the Thompsonville section in larger numbers than usual following resident complaints about criminal activity in the neighborhood. Residents told NBC Connecticut the area is plagued by drugs.

Police arrested suspects on charges ranging from narcotics possession of violation of a protective order, and more. Officers also recovered a gun, nearly three pounds of marijuana packaged for sale, and almost $1,400 in cash.

“The officers went into the area and they really saturated a few specific streets at a very specific section within town trying to focus on quality of life issues with an expectation that might lead to other violations and in fact it did,” Alaric said.

Enfield police arrested the following suspects on the charges listed:

Johnathan Ramos, 32

Violation of a protective order
Warrant

Eric Snyder, 29

Possession of a controlled substance
Possession of drug paraphernalia
Operation under suspension
No insurance for motor vehicle

Danielle Bakke, 36

Fox is also planning a block watch meeting with Thompsonville residents to discuss the quality of life issues and the police response.

On Tuesday dozens rallied in New Haven hoping to send a message that President Donald’s Trump nominee to U.S. Supreme Court must be blocked.

“I’m concerned about the future,” said Gail Haas of Milford.

Outside the Superior Court in New Haven, protesters worried Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s addition to the nation’s highest court could endanger a host of issues, including workers’ rights, gun control and abortion rights.

“I think there’s a real threat to health care and to women’s rights,” said Julie Miller of New Haven.

The federal appeals judge graduated from Yale in 1987 and from Yale Law School in 1990.

While most in the crowd were against his nomination, a small group from Students for Life made their voices heard and hope the 53-year-old joining the court could lead to a reversal of Roe v. Wade.

“I think so, yes. We’re pretty positive about that. It’s an important issue for us,” said Chris Kelly of Stamford.

While Connecticut’s senators have blasted the pick, this group realizes there’s more work to be done to get other lawmakers and people across the nation to potentially stop the nomination.

“They need to fight for our country. We need to be together on this,” said Sarah Bromley of Milford.

Kavanaugh is receiving support from the CCDL – a gun rights group in the state – which notes his record of upholding the Second Amendment.

On Tuesday the judge met with Senate leaders, though his confirmation process could take months.
