Good morning, Norwalk.

A new report from nonprofit groups found that land use boards in Fairfield and New London counties are mostly made up of white, male homeowners compared to local populations—Fairfield boards show 70% male and 94% white membership while the county is 49% male and 58% white, and the report suggests that including renters could lead to fairer decisions.
Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling joined a local show this week to discuss the new Wegman's on Connecticut Avenue and other city updates—he highlighted current projects—and State Rep. Jennifer Leeper discussed Fairfield First Selectman Bill Gerber's legacy.
Sen. Blumenthal and Rep. Larson demanded the release of Afghan interpreter Ziaulhaq Shinwari after ICE arrested him on July 16 in East Hartford while he was taking biometrics for his green card—he is now held in Plymouth, Mass after a federal judge temporarily stayed his removal order. Shinwari, who served as a translator for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, faces an expedited removal order based on false claims about his entry.
