Pushback against Trump/Miller’s ‘Mass Detention’ campaign ARE Increasing across the country…
Several attempts to secure locations have falle thru when. in comes out that DHS/ICE is doing the deal….
The federal government has abandoned plans to build an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Hampshire, GOP Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced in a social media post Tuesday.
The announcement is a major victory for Ayotte, who pleaded her case in conversations with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week.
“I thank her for hearing the concerns of the Town of Merrimack and for the continued cooperation between DHS and New Hampshire law enforcement to secure our northern border, keep dangerous criminals off our streets, and ensure our communities are safe,” Ayotte wrote on X.
Several Republicans, though broadly supportive of the president’s deportation push, have spoken out against efforts to open immigration detention centers in their home states. In early February, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) wrote a letter to Noem, urging ICE to stop the development of a processing facility in the town of Byhalia, Mississippi.
Such a development, he wrote, “forecloses economic growth opportunities and replaces them with a use that does not generate comparable economic returns or community benefits.“

Why it matters: The Trump administration has prioritized investing tens of billions of dollars to increase how many people it can hold in immigration detention, and ICE has a limited amount of time to spend it.
While Republicans may back the president’s immigration blitz on a national level, they’ve been leading voices of local pushback against ICE’s warehouse expansion while hinting at an old refrain: not-in-my-backyard.
The big picture: Republican elected officials in Mississippi, New Hampshire, Tennessee and beyond have fought proposed facilities in their states.
Well, what did they expect?
When Trump, Noem & co. characterize every out-of-status alien as a bloodthirsty, thieving child-raping narcoterrorist who crashes over other cars to poison youth with Fentanyl — the “Worst of the Worst” — and then those most likely to believe such characterizations might not want them detained in the next town over.
No Shit!
Immigration has turned into concentration camps ….
Yet?
Trump & Co keep digging themselves DEEPER IN A BIGGER HOLE
