Mayor Elicker at Wednesday's protest downtown.
Mayor Justin Elicker sent out the following statement in a Wednesday press release about ICE’s arrest of a 37-year-old mom in the Hill. Click here, here, and here to read more.
ICE’s actions are appalling and inhumane. To arrest a mother in front of her two young children while taking them to school is simply unconscionable and the lowest of the low.
We condemn this deplorable act of family separation and call upon the Trump Administration to stop its inhumane approach and cruel tactics that are disappearing people without due process and traumatizing our children and communities.
New Haven is a welcoming city for all and our immigrant neighbors are a part of our New Haven family.
New Haven will continue to stand up for our residents and our values, and we will continue [to] fight back with every resource available to us against the Trump Administration’s reckless immigration policies.
