Since the announcement, crowds have gathered outside of Wilmington Airport to protest the airline's move. On May 31, a few dozen protesters in Delaware were a part of a nationwide movement at other airports serving Avelo. It wasn't as large of a rally as the first protest in April, but the message has not changed.

Avelo Airlines provides the only scheduled commercial passenger flights out of Delaware. The governor is boycotting because of the airline's contract with ICE.
