Governor Meyer has expressed his support for Delawareans protests at ILG (Wilmington, DE) and spoke publicly in support of boycotting Avelo as the carrier for I.C.E. deportation flights. But he can use his position in the state to DO MORE! Delaware provided a fuel tax break to Avelo in 2022; we need Gov. Meyer to stop our tax dollars from supporting Avelo’s abductions. No DE money should go to support Avelo.

1. Don’t Renew the Fuel Tax Break: Similarly to The State of Connecticut, Governor Meyer can use his Office’s Council on Development Finance and position as the co-chair of the Board of Directors of the Delaware Prosperity Partnership to end the Fuel Tax Break of at least $40,000 that Delaware gives to Avelo as long as they seek to profit from the I.C.E. contract.
2. No more tax dollars for Avelo advertising: Gov. Meyer can use his leadership role to work with Governor Murphy of New Jersey to take a stance against the Avelo-I.C.E. collaboration by having the Delaware River and Bay Authority stop using our tax dollars to subsidize advertising for an Airline that we, Delawareans, want no association with as long as they associate themselves with I.C.E’s fascist, anti-immigrant mass deportations.
3. Email the President of the University of DE Laura Carlson to demand UD boycott Avelo effective immediately. UD had a contract in 2023 with Avelo to fly UD Athletics and as recently as August of 2025, the UD football team was seen boarding an Avelo plane at ILG.

A wide range of activists and constituents share these concerns across the board. We hope one day to not feel a sense of embarrassment when we see a billboard advertising flying Avelo out of Wilmington Airport. We share the desire to fly ethically out of ILG in the future without putting money towards profiteering off the mass persecution of America’s immigrants.
