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!

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.

Mosquito breeding project

192 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently enrolled in a graduate biology class at Yale and my project involves studying the multiplication rate of Mosquitos and its effect on neighboring habitats.

I was wondering if anyone is able to make any suggestions on how to increase the hatch rate of mosquitos. What factors could potentially inhibit or destroy the eggs if I were to breed them in my backyard?

Oh and by the way, I think my neighbor is stalking me. I'd hate to call the cops on him, but is there a hotline for this kind of thing?

Thanks

Does anyone know who was performing outside P&M on Orange Street on the evening of July 22?

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I happened to walk by P&M on Orange Street on the evening of July 22 and saw a group of people performing outside.

They were absolutely amazing! The singing was beautiful, the music was fantastic, and the whole atmosphere was so much fun.

I was wondering if they were an invited band, a local group, or just people getting together for an impromptu jam session. If anyone knows the name of the band, the singers, or where I can find more information about them, I'd love to know! Their performance was incredible, and I'd definitely love to hear them again!!!🥰🥰

Any information, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :D

Stray mama cat in East Rock

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

Found a young mother cat near the intersection of Orange St and England Drive, down on the stairs leading to the trail. She let me pick her up and transport her in my car with no issues. Way too comfortable with people to be feral, she was purring and grooming herself in my lap, enjoying the cuddles. Unfortunately because she is actively nursing I had to return her to where I found her. She at least got a good meal. She is dirty and flea ridden but has a wonderfully sweet disposition. I left a carrier with towels and food nearby for her so I hope to find her and the kittens tomorrow. If you recognize her please leave a comment.

Update 1: Good and bad news folks. After returning tonight, we found the mother cat for a second time. She again easily allowed us to capture her. This time we brought a cat carrier and walked around with her meowing, hoping the kittens would respond. We searched for over 2 hours but couldn't find any sign of them. Time is of the essence to find them if they're still out there. I ask for your help, friends! If you find yourself near East Rock Park, especially around the high school, bridge, or surrounding residential area, please keep your eyes and ears open. if you see or hear kittens, try to get them if you are able, but if not take note of your location. If you respond here I will go investigate. I hope to find the kittens as soon as possible and reunite this family.

The mother cat seems to be doing well but I have some concerns. She has an absessed wound under her tail I didn't catch before. We bathed her as she was filthy. She allowed us to without a fight. She is very thin and has several other minor injuries. We are getting her care in the morning. Otherwise she seems to be in good spirits, is eating, and remains very sweet. Please continue cheering her on. I will post an update soon.

Wayne “The Train” Hancock & Audrey Mae - honky tonk/bluegrass - Sunday 7/26 at Cafe Nine

Post image
4 Upvotes

Wayne Hancock is the king of juke joint swing - a potent mix of honky tonk, blues, Texas swing and rockabilly. He has been a legend in the game since dropping the classic “Thunderstorms & Neon Signs” in 1995.

Audrey Mae are hands down the best bluegrass/Americana group in New England. Featuring soaring harmony vocals courtesy of Peter Winne & Joe Delillo, anchored by the rock solid bass of Joe Lemeris and the masterful fiddle & banjo stylings of Sam McDougle, these bluegrass veterans always hit the mark, everytime.

This is a special Sunday matinee show, 3 PM doors with the show kicking off at 4 PM. Tickets are going quick, head over to www.cafenine.com to get yours in advance.

Best tiramisu within a 45 minute drive of New Haven

My bf had tiramisu for the first time at Sally's and is super obsessed. Where can I take him to surprise him with 10/10 tiramisu? I'm always down to travel and treat him to dinner while we're in the area so anything within a 45 minute drive of New Haven is game.

Recommendations for spa pedicure

6 Upvotes

Any recs for a nail salon in the New Haven area that does a great spa pedicure? I'm talking the whole deal with massage, hot towels, exfoliating scub, etc.

I've gone to Day Night Nail Spa in Hamden a couple times for a few manicures and one pedicure, and have had mixed experiences. I also don't like the atmosphere. Feels like being in Forever 21.

“Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,” we’ve been told over and over, starting in 1995 when the song came out.

Having been caught unprepared by Saturday’s deluge, and lacking a square inch of dry clothing left to lose, I decided to ignore that advice.

Stolen Bike

Post image
16 Upvotes

This may be a long shot but looking to see if anyone has seen the below bike. I was out of town for the last 1-2 weeks and upon my return my bike was gone. They left my helmet and U-lock. Presumably stolen the first or second week of July. Stolen from back deck of East Rock residence.

The bike is a 2018 Giant Escape 3 (Size: Medium) (Color: Matte Black/Graphite-Gold)

It also has a parking pass sticker on it from Indiana University: Bloomington.

This was my college bike and holds sentimental value. (Pictured with front wheel removed)

Please let me know if you see or hear anything.

Filing a police report with NHPD and sending emails to the local shops as well.

(I realize I will probably never see the bike again so please save any pessimistic comments for the next guy 😢)

Future 50+ Shared Living in New Haven?

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just renewed my lease, so I’m set for the near future, but I’m looking ahead and want to explore shared housing options down the line in New Haven.

I think there’s a real need for good shared living or co-housing options for the 50+ crowd—a setup for people who want community and shared space without giving up their independence.

If you're in that demographic and interested in brainstorming or collaborating on what this could look like, shoot me a DM.
