NH effectively bans sanctuary cities....Bills become law

A New England state that hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate in over two decades has effectively banned sanctuary jurisdictions.

Republican New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed two bills into law in May, House Bill 511 and Senate Bill 62, which largely ban sanctuary city policies and mandate more cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Both laws have officially gone into effect with the start of the new year, aiding the Trump administration as it aims to build on its nationwide deportation operation.

HB 511 requires municipalities across the state to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers when “safe to do so” and bans policies to ignore federal immigration directives, among other changes, according to the legislation. SB 62 revokes state and local governments’ authority to prevent their respective law enforcement agencies from entering into voluntary agreements with ICE.

“As of today, sanctuary cities are officially banned in New Hampshire,” Ayotte said in a public statement Thursday. “We will never go the way of Massachusetts and their billion-dollar illegal immigration crisis.”

Ayotte’s shot at neighboring Massachusetts follows massive headaches the deep blue state has faced with its illegal migrant population, including runaway spending on its migrant shelter program and a major migrant-related drug bust that caused national embarrassment for the state’s emergency shelter system.

Good things happen when you have a gop governor.

How can two states next to each other be so different in dealing with illegals is beyond me.

Since there were no sanctuary city designations planned for any NH cities (we have had Republican governors for quite a few years)....this is a non story.

Sanctuary cities was always an inane concept anyway, The left should do away with it. Dying on the sanctuary city hill would be political malpractice,

There are ordinances and a political movement supported by elected officials.

Peterborough has a 2017 ordinance that says town officials “shall not inquire into the immigration or citizenship status of an individual except when the inquiry relates to a legitimate law enforcement purpose that is unrelated to the enforcement of a civil immigration law.”

Those testifying against the bills included representatives with the American Civil Liberties Union, the Roman Catholic Church, the N.H. Association of Counties and the N.H. Municipal Association. Sen. Tara Reardon, a Concord Democrat, spoke against both bills before the Senate passed them along partisan lines and sent them to Ayotte. Reardon said the immigration crackdown under President Donald Trump has sidestepped principles of fairness, due process and human dignity.

Anti-sanctuary city bills go into effect in NH on January 1

Both bills were signed with much fanfare by Gov. Kelly Ayotte, who made illegal immigration and anti-Massachusetts sentiment part of her platform in running for governor.

Never made official. Which is what you needed to be declared a "sanctuary city".
Again, non-story.

NH is holding the fort but gradually changing as well.
