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

115 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.

NHFPL: Library Reciprocation Through Libby?

5 Upvotes

Has anyone gotten other CT libraries linked in Libby using your NHFPL card? Libby recently announced that they added library reciprocity in for libraries that have an agreement (and went in on the back end to set it up in the Libby system), but I am only seeing New Haven show up in Libby.

A coworker has a card to another CT library (not sure which) and said that they have the reciprocity showing up, so I am just trying to figure out if New Haven does not have it set up in Libby or if it is an issue on my end. I have a card for a library in MA and all of the reciprocal libraries are showing up, so I know it’s not an app issue.

I love the New Have Library, but their Libby selection is fairly small so I would love to get the reciprocity set up if I can

Connecticut voted for the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote, on September 14, 1920. That same day, the state lost one of its most ardent and least recognized suffragists, Augusta Lewis Troup.

Head-on collision near miss near East Rock. Guy drives like this on Edward’s St and around daily, straight into oncoming traffic and around other vehicles.

Anything we can do at all? Or MF’s just get to drive like this 247?

This guy might run over your kids or wife. Genuinely scary stuff and I see him often.

Lost Charm Bracelet

3 Upvotes

Hi total longshot but on Saturday my silver charm bracelet fell off somewhere while walking around the downtown area. It has a ton of charms but one is a peridot stone. Its very centimental to me so offering reward if anyone finds it. I walked from Barcelona to Partners around 11pm. Please message me if you happened to pick it up!

And yes I've called pawn shops, no luck!

Westville Seafood Closing

I’ve driven by this place a million times but never actually tried it. Any good? Wonder if they’re closing because rent is too high, because profits are too low, or because that area generally seems to be going even more downhill than it already was. Everything over there seems to have closed, and many of them have remained vacant.

Dwight and Chapel parking

Anyone have advice for living around that area? By the Cannon (?) vegan bar. I’ve lived in cities before, but am curious for advice as to parking? I have a relatively nicer car. Should I be concerned re: street parking? Where would you recommend parking. Thanks!

New Haven Strava Art

“Art” might be a stretch, but made a little robot man on my run the other day. Would like to make some different designs in future runs, though it will be a challenge to plot something more intricate in advance and then make all the right turns. There are some pretty good Strava artists out there though- curious if anyone has other New Haven examples?

(this one is just about 5.9 miles)

Gyms in New Haven

2 Upvotes

I recently moved and want to get back into working out again. It’s been a while so I’ll be kind of starting at level 1 again. I’m looking around at gyms and some of them are pricey some aren’t. I was hoping someone would know a good gym around here. I’m not a big fan of all the big corporation gyms but I’ll take what I can get. I work near cedar hill and was wondering if there’s anything good nearby as I don’t have a car either. Any advice would be great! Thank you

Would love to see a Dolly mural somewhere in New Haven. Perhaps downtown, Newhallville, Long Wharf, or other neighborhood? Maybe along the Canal Trail? Who are New Haven’s muralists who might be up for the job? ❤️
