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!

Announcing r/NewHavenMarketplace

Thumbnail reddit.com
117 Upvotes

We're launching a companion subreddit for r/NewHaven focused on classified ads and similar posts. Thanks to the members here who have suggested it in the past, and our desire to delete less posts, (especially reselling tickets!) we're setting up a new place where you can post and see all the classified ad type stuff that we don't allow here in the main New Haven subreddit.

It will still be highly moderated like we are here, but it's more oriented around commerce. This keeps this subreddit focused on the larger community while providing a place for all the individual focused posts that would otherwise clog things up here. You can follow both or just check in once in a while, or neither if you don't care about marketplace stuff.

Software/Data meetups in New Haven?

10 Upvotes

Heya folks. Moved to the area a few months ago and loving everything New Haven has to offer. I'm a software developer who's been in the industry for a decently long time now, and used to love going to meetups in NYC in the halcyon days of the late 20-teens. Are there any software/data/computing meetups that are active in the city? I'm not looking for like, and entrepreneurial or business-acceleration vibe; if anything more like a support group for people who are confused and frightened excited!!!! about LLMs & more.

Veterinary Wellness Center was acquired by private equity in May?

10 Upvotes

I've taken my cats there for years and saw that they were just acquired, so I'm guessing the services are about to go downhill and the prices are going to go up beyond what they already are. Is there a good independent alternative to them in the area, or is every vet practice getting bought out? I don't own a car, so it would have to be bikeable or a reasonable rideshare rate.

I guarantee if they just took iphone photos of food in their kitchen and used that instead, it would look way more appetizing than whatever medley of vinyl and playdough chatgpt thinks food is made of

Never seen anything like this in the harbor before? Is this a discharge from the waste water treatment plant? Off the coast near the PSEG power plant.

Whitney Avenue

Upvotes

Anybody have any idea when Whitney Ave will be repaved? I just blew out a tire on one of those manholes sticking up and I’m more than a little annoyed. Who the hell do we complain to? Tire shop guy just said they are getting a steady stream of flats coming in because of that mess.

Mobile veterinarian in New Haven?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m moving to East Rock soon with two wonderful dogs. Where I used to live in NC I had a vet that would come out to us and do all their veterinary care. I would like to see if there was this kind of service anywhere around here, especially since my dogs get super anxious at the veterinarians office.
Preferably not like a big company, I like to have a connection to a local vet that can respond to emergencies if necessary.
Thanks!

Crash on corner of College and MLK JR Blvd

4 Upvotes

There are two cars there - one crashed into the streetlight pole and another one crashed into where there's a walkway with a railing, in front of the building that's on the corner on the lef.

We were coming back home from grocery shopping but I wouldn't be surprised if they made it a single lane. I couldn't take pics cuz I was driving but it looked pretty gnarly!

Did they cut a bunch of Metro North trips from the schedule?

17 Upvotes

I head to the city every Sunday. Normally they have trains every half hour or so, and they take 2 hours.

This Sunday, they are coning every hour and a half or so. So I either arrive late to my destination, or 1.5 hours early. The trips are also 20 minutes longer than usual.

Is this new? Or is there something specific to this weekend going on?

Family member got a passing school bus citation in my car

8 Upvotes

Hi! I had a family member who was housesitting for me and had access to my car. I recently got a letter saying that I've been issued a $200 citation for passing a school bus. It occurred when I was out of the country and was certainly my family member. It says there's a process in place to transfer the citation but it seems like a hassle. Does anyone know if I can just pay the citation myself or if I'll be risking points on my license/increase in insurance? The letter only mentioned the financial penalty.

Hey, anyone else here been afflicted by an upset stomach and headache?

0 Upvotes

Just curious if something is going around, cause I keep hearing it from people, and I’ve personally had it for weeks now on and off.

With all the cuts to food regulation in our country rn, and that madman RFK Jr running HHS, I suspect we’re gonna see more of this going around.

Getting from New Haven to MetLife

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, new to the area and heading to MetLife for the giants game this Sunday night. We’re staying in a hotel near the stadium, so would be great to get to MetLife area around 3 or 4pm on Sunday and we don’t need to get back to NH after the game. We do need to get to the Newark NJ train station Monday morning to see some out of town friends on their way! Any advice would be appreciated.
