BREAKING: Connecticut mayor who came to the U.S. as an international student is now telling ICE to stay out of his city. Swarnjit Singh was born in India. His family came to the United States in 1984.
He arrived around 2007 as an international student, earned a master’s degree, started businesses in Connecticut, and settled in Norwich. In 2025 he became the first Sikh mayor in New England.
Now, as mayor, he says his city will not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. In a public statement he said no one in Norwich should fear going to work or school because of their immigration status.
He stated that the Norwich Police Department follows the Connecticut Trust Act and will not assist ICE. He also echoed Governor Lamont, saying: “ICE, go home. You are not welcomed here.”
