Immigrant rights advocates rallied outside Tweed New Haven Airport, demanding stronger oversight of federal immigration agents allowed access to the facility. Their central concern is whether ICE officers with unrestricted airport access have undergone full background checks. The protesters presented a list of demands urging Tweed to ensure every such officer is properly vetted. The advocates also filed a public records request seeking documentation about the agents’ vetting, training, and tracking. They want proof that federal immigration agents with access to the airport have been properly screened and prepared for their roles. The effort combines a public demonstration with a formal request for records. The demands focus on accountability for agents who can move through areas of the airport without restrictions. The advocates are seeking information about how that access is managed.
