HeadlineApr 11, 2025

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a boycott of Avelo Airlines after the low-cost carrier signed an agreement to fly deportation flights for the Trump administration. This week, protesters rallied at Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut as the state’s Attorney General William Tong sent a letter to Avelo questioning its contract with ICE. Tong said, “Avelo has freely chosen to profit from and facilitate these atrocities. The State of Connecticut has an obligation now to review this business decision.”
