• Eye Spy … Raptors! (newhavenindependent.org) — Families from New Haven and nearby towns flocked to Lighthouse Point Park on Saturday for the 2026 Bird Migration Festival, highlighted by a live raptor show. Kids enjoyed bird-themed crafts while birders watched hawks and learned about raptor rehabilitation from Blue Moon Raptors, turning the park into a lively, hands-on celebration of local wildlife.
• ICE deported her from CT. Now, she parents from Mexico. (ctmirror.org) — New Haven residents will recognize Nancy Martinez's case as one of the most visible recent ICE deportations tied to the city, sparking rallies, legal action from Yale Law School, and organizing by local immigrant advocates. The story follows how her removal to Mexico has affected her New Haven-based children, details a lawsuit over how agents handled the arrest, and explains efforts in Connecticut to help families prepare for potential separations.
• Cities Ask Supreme Court to Block Deportation Rule (newsbreak.com) — New Haven has joined Baltimore and Columbus in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to restore an immigration court rule that lets judges pause some deportation cases while people seek legal protections. City leaders and allied legal groups argue the Trump-era agreement with Texas that ended the rule harms vulnerable immigrants and undermines local public safety by discouraging crime victims from cooperating with police.
