flag New Hampshire Democrats introduce bill requiring local approval for ICE detention centers, citing community opposition and federal overreach.

flag New Hampshire’s Democratic congressional delegation is introducing legislation requiring local approval before the Department of Homeland Security can establish ICE detention centers in the state, responding to opposition in Merrimack over a proposed 500-bed facility. flag The bill mandates federal notification of Congress, a 60-day public comment period, and written consent from local officials, aiming to increase transparency and accountability. flag While the measure faces challenges in the Republican-controlled Congress, it reflects broader bipartisan concerns about federal overreach and community input, especially as DHS expands detention operations nationwide despite local resistance and questions about economic and safety impacts.
