Kelly Ayotte

Gov. Kelly Ayotte released documents Thursday with new details about ICE’s plans to come to Merrimack. But some residents say they aren’t sure they trust the governor or what’s in the documents.

During a senate hearing Thursday, acting ICE director Todd Lyons said federal officials spoke with the governor about the facility's economic impact. Gov. Kelly Ayotte said his comments were not true.

Los promotores del plan dicen que compartir directrices de seguridad pública protegería las tradiciones políticas de NH, pero un alto funcionario dice que el proyecto podría ser perjudicial.

Nuclear power faced major opposition in New Hampshire in the 1970s. Half a century later, Ayotte wants to make the state the face of nuclear innovation.

Sarah Stewart served as the commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources since June 2018.

In Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s address Thursday, she pushed for continued housing development and childcare affordability, while proposing an expansion of nuclear power in the state.

At a special Executive Council meeting Wednesday, Ayotte and executive councilors questioned the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources commissioner about failure to alert other state officials about talks with ICE.

The federal government alerted the state Division of Historical Resources of its plan as early as Jan. 9, according to documents obtained by the ACLU of New Hampshire.

Ayotte dijo a los periodistas el miércoles que el gobierno federal no ha confirmado un borrador filtrado del plan para convertir un almacén en un centro de detención de inmigrantes.

Ayotte told reporters Wednesday that the federal government has not confirmed a leaked draft plan to convert a warehouse into a 1,500 person immigrant detention facility.
