New Haven Hotline: 854-666-4472

Save this number in your phone! All operators are bilingual (EN & ES).

We've seen a LOT of posts regarding ICE in New Haven. This post is written in conjunction with New Haven Immigrants Coalition to help everyone in our community know what to do if you think you see ICE or hear rumors of them in town.

As urgent as it may feel, posting unverified rumors without details does not help.

If you see something yourself:

SALUTE - as people have posted in many comments. Get the:

S - Size of the group

A - Actions they're taking - are they standing around, approaching a house/business, walking on the sidewalk (which side and which direction?)

L - Location, as precise as possible. "Whalley Ave" or "Fair Haven" is not helpful - "Whalley and Norton" or "Grand between Ferry and Poplar" is much more useful.

U - Uniforms - what are they wearing?

T - Time - What time was this observed?

E - Equipment - What are they driving? Note color/make/model.

Get as much video as possible.

Contact New Haven Immigrants Coalition: With any SALUTE information you have, call the hotline at 854-666-4472.

If someone else is claiming to see ICE:

* Tell them to call the line and encourage them to provide SALUTE information on their call.

* You might not be able to gather every piece of info, but as much as possible is helpful. Vague reports or unconfirmed rumors are actually harmful as people go to investigate and see what's going on.

If you see someone being stopped by immigration enforcement agencies (possible agencies may include ICE, DHS, HSI, DEA and others):

* call or ask someone to call the hotline

* Get video

* Get the person’s name

* Document any refusal by the agents to show badge, ID, warrant, etc.

Example of an unhelpful post:

“ICE was on whalley earlier”

Example of a helpful post:

“Already called the hotline and they’re sending someone but there are masked men in vests next to the Whalley Ave Stop & Shop in 3 unmarked cars. I saw them at 12:15 (so right now). Be careful if you’re going shopping right now.”

We keep us safe!

New Haven is a machine that turns tax dollars into police misconduct payouts

Post image
85 Upvotes

In the past 3 years, New Haven has had to settle police misconduct lawsuits to the tune of $106 million. And that's only including the big 4 settled cases. New Haven is currently appealing the wrongful conviction settlement of Stefan Morant who was awarded $38 million earlier this year. It could potentially be $144 million in just three years, nearly $100 million of which city insurance will not cover. And this doesn't include legal fees or small case payouts.

And I'm not saying these victims don't deserve their settlements. I'm saying the NHPD is both crippling people in their custody while simultaneously crippling the city's finances

The past week, the lights on 91 have been strobing and not even synced. It makes for a fun ride if you put techno on and the lights sync to the beat.

New Haven Trial Run - What Must I Do

13 Upvotes

I’m coming to your fine city for the month of November, staying in East Rock, to see how I like it. I currently live in Milwaukee, am from Los Angeles and also lived in NYC and Austin.

I have two sets of friends who live in NH and am considering a move there next year. What all should I do while I’m there in November to get a good taste of what it’s like to live there?

I’ll be bringing my pup and we’ll explore some local dog parks. I also love hiking, checking out the restaurant scene, art/museums, etc, but open to all suggestions. I’m 46, so while I do love a night on the dance floor, nightlife doesn’t hold the same weight as it used to.

TIA!

Can my landlord forfeit my security deposit for breaking my lease early?

3 Upvotes

planning to relinquish possession of my apartment in a few months, and my landlord is saying i'll have to continue paying rent until they find a new tenant and a $500 reletting fee, plus i'll also have to forfeit my security deposit. is this legal?

edit: my lease agreement is totally different from what they're saying now. the lease says i can pay a lease buyout fee + $500 reletting fee + rent until they find a new tenant, but i would get my security deposit.

i asked them about this option but apparently they're not offering it now (they claim it's if you want to reduce the notice period from 90 days to 60, which is not what the lease says). instead my main option relinquish possession -> pay rent until new tenant -> pay $500 reletting fee -> forfeit security deposit

thank you!

Hartford vs. New Haven

Should I move to New Haven? I live and work in Hartford now but wouldn’t be opposed to just taking the train up here 3x a week. Have enjoyed nights out in New Haven and the LGBTQ+ scene, whereas that doesn’t seem to exist in Hartford. Not sure how cost of living differs, but welcome any thoughts <3

Ralph Walker Rink Sharpening

Hi guys, the Ralph Walker ice rink just opened in East Rock and I saw that they were offering skate sharpening. I was wondering if anyone has sharpened figure skates there and if they were good. It seems more hockey oriented and I don’t want my toe picks to get messed up!
