NEW: Connecticut’s attorney general has sent his second warning in a month to Avelo Airlines, telling the startup it has jeopardized tax breaks and other local support by agreeing to conduct deportation flights for ICE. @mckenziefunk.com

Except the people detained and deported without due process. The point is, Avelo is conducting these flights out of Arizona without the necessary deportation court orders.
The court has no jurisdiction over Arizona. It is called standing. Boasberg's case was thrown out for standing. The people he was suing about were in Texas, and he is in Washington DC. The case was thrown out because this rogue judge had no standing.
My point is being missed. The point is the blatant disregard of due process and lack of valid deportation orders from whichever jurisdiction these flights originate. I'm not seeing how this strategy fits with Avelo's stated values.
I think they have valid deportation orders. The federal computers are all antiquated, though, so it's no surprise the court order was missed. It might not even have been entered. A huge amount of deportation orders are being entered. Hence, that sloppy signature comparison Crassenstein posted.
I could care less about Avelo. Avelo can worry about Avelo. My guess is being a government contractor, that they may do ok at least for the next 4 years.
Pushback on this is a slam dunk. Call their customer service #; leave reviews where you can. Flying? Ask gate staff or people waiting for a flight: Do you want to sit in a seat that 2 days ago held someone shackled to the armrest on their way to a concentration camp? Have you heard of Nuremberg?
Truly, this should be one of the easiest takedowns of a company for being unethical in a while. They're new, and just making a name for themselves. Every association should be with this.

Thanks Kathy. I'm a fan of more direct action myself (calling reps, calling the businesses, engaging with people around their business practices) but petitions can be useful for folks who want to participate in a different way. I'm not sure about their efficacy, but they are an option.
I we as born and raised in Connecticut, unfortunately I now live in a red state, but I am so proud of Connecticut and what its citizens are doing to stand up to Trump
YOU GO CONSTITUTION STATE! Go, stay with the fight!
It's just disgusting the way the US is treating people. No charges, no due process & shuttling them from state to state to make them harder to find them.
Your country has slid so far into the garbage heap that you'll never get the stench of their crimes off.
If your friend, partner, or relatives are part of the EVIL work of #ICE (in whatever role: kidnappers/admin/accounts/cleaning etc.) then you MUST tell them to quit.
OR QUIT THEM
FFS! - make a stand for what you say you believe in.
Isn’t this nice? Why would we want tax $ to go towards child development and helping people whose towns have been ruined
by industries when we can have it go towards this? I’m sure if you poll the average Trump voter, they think the companies are volunteering or something not taking in billions.
It would be a shame if nobody ever booked a flight with these creeps, or their planes kept having flat tires...
BOYCOTT AVELO. Do not support airlines that fly for a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
