The fallout from the proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire, has led to the resignation of Commissioner Sarah Stewart after it was revealed that her agency failed to adequately inform Governor Kelly Ayotte about the plans. The governor has called for a comprehensive review of the state agency, emphasizing the need for transparency and communication regarding federal detention facility operations. Despite attempts by local representatives to have more input on the controversial project, significant opposition and concerns have arisen within the community regarding the impacts of this facility. New documents indicate that state officials were aware of the plans as early as January, igniting further scrutiny into the decision-making process at the state level.
