Sonoma County saw loud protests against Avelo Airlines, which plans to operate deportation flights for the Department of Homeland Security. Despite shutting down its operations base at Sonoma Airport for cost-saving reasons, Avelo will continue some flights and start deportation charters from Arizona. Protesters, including activists from Indivisible Sonoma County, urged the public to boycott the airline, arguing that it prioritizes profit over human rights, while Avelo maintains that the flights are essential for its financial stability and employee retention.
Avelo has got to go," chanted protesters.
We are asking folks not to give their money to anyone who is deporting individuals without due process of law," said Laura Powell from Indivisible Sonoma County.
We need to stand up for our rights and not let Trump Administration take over," said Diane Madero.
I think they're selling out. I have flown Avelo in the past, and I won't anymore until they stop this." said Linda Hoile from Santa Rosa.
