Ayotte Signs Bills Aimed at Banning Sanctuary Policies, Allowing Police to Work with ICE
- On Thursday, May 22, 2025, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed two bills into law in New Hampshire banning sanctuary city policies and mandating police cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
- The legislation responds to concerns about illegal immigration and contrasts with Massachusetts, which limits local enforcement cooperation with federal immigration detainers.
- The laws prohibit policies that restrict communication with federal agencies, require compliance with immigration detainers, and allow law enforcement to enter Section 287 agreements with ICE.
- Governor Ayotte emphasized that their state ranks as one of the most secure in the country, while Representative Joe Sweeney remarked that the new legislation effectively empowers law enforcement officers to better cooperate with federal immigration agencies.
- Opponents warn the laws may increase racial profiling and damage immigrant trust in police, possibly reducing community safety despite the governor’s assurances.
