TL;DR

Documents obtained by the NH ACLU show state officials knew as early as Jan. 12, 2026 that ICE planned to buy and repurpose a 43-acre Merrimack warehouse into a detention facility, with federal authorities seeking historic-resource feedback and the governor’s office criticized for not disclosing plans to the public, press, or town; Merrimack leaders oppose the move and advocates call for transparency amid opposition to ICE expansion.
