Trump administration scraps planned ICE facility in New Hampshire

The Trump administration has dropped plans for a new ICE detention facility in New Hampshire. GOP Governor Kelly Ayotte called this decision a victory after addressing local concerns with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

She expressed gratitude for Noem's responsiveness and ongoing cooperation on border security.

This change comes amid rising backlash against immigration enforcement within the GOP, with several members opposing new detention centers.

Senator Roger Wicker urged similar halts in other states, emphasizing potential economic drawbacks.

Despite the administration's past dismissals of internal objections, the White House had defended the project last week.

ICE provided no reason for its sudden withdrawal.
