STATEMENT BY MAYOR ELICKER ON ICE’S ARREST OF A NEW HAVEN RESIDENT
NEW HAVEN, CT - On Monday morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials detained a New Haven resident while in the process of taking her two children to school. In response to this incident, Mayor Elicker released the following statement:
"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 fight back with every resource available to us against the Trump Administration's reckless immigration policies."
