NH Delegation Presses DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Future ICE Facilities in NH
March 4, 2026“Last week, in response to congressional inquiries, ICE stated that the agency is not moving forward with plans for a facility at 50 Robert Milligan Parkway in Merrimack at this time. However, ICE explicitly refused to comment on any other plans for ICE facilities in New Hampshire,” wrote the New Hampshire Congressional Delegation. “The people of New Hampshire have clearly and repeatedly voiced their concerns regarding potential new ICE facilities in the Granite State… While the plans for this specific proposed facility have now been paused, we continue to have strong concerns that DHS has or may develop other plans for a new ICE facility in New Hampshire without listening to and accounting for the concerns of Granite Staters.”
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Chris Pappas, Sen. Jeanne ShaheenPappas, Shaheen Introduce Bicameral Legislation to Require DHS Notify Congress, Acquire Local Approval Before Opening New Processing and Detention Facilities
Feb. 23, 2026“Granite Staters want safe communities, accountable government, and local control,” said Congressman Pappas. “That is why I stand with the residents of Merrimack, local leaders, and the thousands of Granite Staters who are voicing strong opposition to the construction of a large scale immigration detention center. It is completely unacceptable for the Trump administration to continue to bypass local leaders throughout this process. That’s why I’m working to require the federal government to get local approval before this or any similar proposal moves forward. I will continue to work with community and state leaders to stop this plan and to demand the full transparency and accountability that is lacking from this administration.”
“Americans are justifiably concerned as DHS moves to open secretive facilities across the country to detain thousands of individuals at a time, with little transparency or regard for the communities they’re being located in. I, along with the overwhelming majority of Americans, agree that we should have a secure border and a humane and rules-based immigration system – but that’s not what the Trump Administration has done, with stunning displays of violence and cruelty, including against U.S. citizens. At a time when so many Americans are struggling with high costs for things like health care and housing, the Trump Administration is instead spending $38 billion in taxpayer money to purchase and operate these facilities,” said Senator Shaheen. “Our new bill responds directly to the concerns we’ve heard from local officials in towns like Merrimack, New Hampshire and across the country: They were never consulted about ICE’s plans, and they don’t want the chaos of new detention facilities in their communities. By requiring DHS to secure approval from state and local officials, our legislation would ensure that Americans and Granite Staters have a say in what the federal government is planning in our own communities.”
“When it comes to plans for a potential ICE facility, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE need to work with state and local officials so that our communities have a say and we can ensure that our communities are safe,” said Senator Hassan. “Granite Staters, local law enforcement, and local leaders have raised serious concerns about the proposed ICE detention facility in Merrimack, and this bill would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from unilaterally forcing a processing facility or detention center on our communities. I’ll continue to work to ensure that we have secure borders, an immigration system consistent with American values, and that Granite Staters, local leaders, and New Hampshire’s first responders have a say in what goes on in their communities.”
“The half-baked $38 billion campaign to commandeer industrial warehouses for the detention of human beings without the knowledge or approval of local communities in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and across America is a dangerous and un-American overreach by the Department of Homeland Security. It is undermining our local leaders. It is eviscerating public trust. It is imperiling public safety. It is threatening economic growth. It must stop,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “Our commonsense legislation will rein in this chaos by mandating the transparency and accountability that local communities across New Hampshire and America need and deserve over these decisions.”
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Chris Pappas, Sen. Jeanne ShaheenNH Congressional Delegation Continues to Urge DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to Engage with Local Merrimack Officials on ICE Facility Proposal
Feb. 23, 2026“The accompanying letter details the potential negative impact this facility may have on the community’s economic development, as well as the potential strain such a facility would place upon the local economy, infrastructure, and public safety,” wrote New Hampshire’s Congressional Delegation. “We share the local concerns expressed about the project, and these concerns must be addressed.”
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Chris Pappas, Sen. Jeanne ShaheenPappas, Goodlander Hear From 11,000+ Granite Staters Opposing Merrimack ICE Facility
Feb. 20, 2026“Granite Staters want law and order, for their communities to be safe and secure, and for decisions that impact their communities to be made at the local level, not in Washington, DC,” said Congressman Pappas. “I stand with the residents of Merrimack, local leaders, and the thousands of Granite Staters who are voicing strong opposition to this plan. It is completely unacceptable for the Trump administration to be bypassing local and state leaders in this process. I will continue to push to stop this plan, for full transparency and accountability from this administration, and ensure that local voices are heard by President Trump, Secretary Noem, and officials at all levels of the federal government.”
“People across New Hampshire have spoken clearly and decisively,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “They want and deserve transparency, accountability, and professionalism from federal law enforcement — they do not want their hard-earned taxpayer dollars to be used by ICE to commandeer an industrial warehouse for the detention of human beings in our state. I will not quit in our fight on behalf of Granite Staters to stop this costly, half-baked plan that will hurt New Hampshire taxpayers and do nothing to make our communities safer.”
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris PappasPappas Calls on Congressional Leaders to Protect Local Control for Communities like Merrimack in DHS Funding Negotiations
Feb. 17, 2026“As you continue negotiations regarding funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), I urge you to include language to preserve state and local autonomy regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) efforts to establish immigrant processing and detention facilities.”
Rep. Chris PappasNH Delegation Calls on Noem, DHS to Respond to Concerns of Merrimack Residents, Town Council Over Proposed ICE Processing Center
Jan. 28, 2026“We request that the Department acknowledge the Council’s letter and establish clear lines of communication with local officials as soon as possible to ensure the Council’s perspective is considered.”
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Chris Pappas, Sen. Jeanne ShaheenPappas Calls for Impeachment of Secretary Noem
Jan. 27, 2026“Secretary Noem is not fit to continue in her position. If she does not resign, Congress must start proceedings to impeach her. Under her leadership, we have seen violations of due process and our constitutional values, enforcement operations inconsistent with the law and accepted standards and protocols, and a failure to coordinate with local law enforcement. In the wake of the killing of two citizens in Minnesota, she blatantly lied to the public by claiming both individuals were ‘domestic terrorists.’ She has not provided the leadership and transparency that Congress and Americans deserve. We need an investigation of the shootings in Minnesota, a thorough evaluation of training and standards, and full accountability. Secretary Noem has lost the trust of the American people and has violated her oath. She must be removed from office."
Rep. Chris PappasDurbin, Duckworth Join Warren To Lead Investigation Into Trump Administration's Betrayal Of Immigrant Service Members, Veterans, And Military Families
Sept. 4, 2025"U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Delia Ramirez (D-IL-03), opened a new investigation into the Trump Administration’s arrest, detention, and deportation of non-citizen service members, Veterans, and military families. The lawmakers wrote to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) demanding an explanation for these practices, which go against decades of precedent and long-standing DHS policy indicating that military service offers protection from immigration enforcement against military service members, Veterans, and their immediate family members."

May 6, 2025"U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH), alongside U.S. Representatives Chris Pappas (NH-01) and Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) are pressing the Trump administration to reconsider recent decisions to revoke student visas for international students studying at New Hampshire colleges and universities. In their letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons, the Congressional delegation highlighted the lack of transparency around many of the visa revocations as well as the irreversible harm many international students experienced."
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Chris Pappas, Sen. Jeanne ShaheenCiscomani, Joyce, Lee, and Pappas Lead Effort to Strengthen Law Enforcement Operations at the Southern Border
Jan. 15, 2025"U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) joined Reps. Dave Joyce (OH-14), Susie Lee (NV-03), and Chris Pappas (NH-01) to spearhead an effort to strengthen law enforcement operations and collaboration along the southern border.
The Advanced Border Coordination Act (H.R. 285) would establish multiple Joint Operation Centers along the U.S.-Mexico border to better coordinate enforcement operations, information sharing and workforce training.
