New Hampshire lawmakers approve a revised anti-sanctuary city bill, restricting local immigration enforcement.

New Hampshire lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a revised anti-sanctuary city bill, HB 511, with a vote of 351-6. The bill restricts local law enforcement's involvement in immigration matters, limiting it to individuals in custody for criminal violations and prohibiting questioning the immigration status of those not in custody. It now moves to the House Finance Committee. This compromise bill has support from both Democrats and Republicans but is less strict than a Senate-approved version that could penalize municipalities financially.
