NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Mayor Justin Elicker is urging for changes at Tweed New Haven Airport in response to recent alleged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity there.

Elicker formally asked Tweed to “discontinue providing any preferential parking to ICE,” facilitate demonstrators, and post signage notifying community members of their rights, among other requests that the airport “not exceed any federal requirements by extending additional assistance to ICE.”

A Tweed spokesperson said clear parking and access procedures help them keep everyone safe and the airport orderly, adding Tweed has no visibility into (or influence over) enforcement activity.

Facilitating demonstrators really doesn’t seem like that would be a good idea at airports.

Tweed is a pretty small airport. One or two gates at most. This is more a symbolic gesture than anything.

I LOATHE the left.

And this is why it's important to know the party of a candidate whether it's for President or dog catcher because it tells you a lot about the person. Too many times in local elections now, the candidates hide their affiliation.

This is guy is out of it. ICE drives in old cars to the outskirts of parking lots and then they hunt down their prey by foot.

Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island…once the birthplace of liberty, now the east cost enclave of communism and anti-Americanism.

They’re harassing an airport facility in Memphis, too.

Coordinated.
