A Brazilian congregation in Brookfield is taking the town to federal court, claiming officials blocked it from worshipping at the former Fox Hill Inn for nearly two years. K Church says the town issued cease-and-desist orders on shaky grounds and treated the church differently than secular groups. The suit argues the delays caused major financial losses. Brookfield denies any discrimination, saying zoning rules were enforced fairly and later amended. The case now moves forward as a federal civil rights investigation continues.
