The Trump administration is planning to use a warehouse at 50 Robert Milligan Parkway in Merrimack, NH as an ICE facility of some sort.

Why oppose the ICE facility?

Humans might not be treated well, and in fact, might be treated very poorly. In addition, the town of Merrimack will lose money on property tax because the federal government doesn't pay property tax. That might make our own property taxes increase.

We also know that there will be:

• Demand for water and sewer capacity that Merrimack might not be able to handle

• Increased demand on Police

• Strain on emergency services from increasing Merrimack’s population

• Heavy traffic on local roads

Take action!

✅ Sign this petition to the Governor https://secure.ngpvan.com/JZAlznCaWUydfE3d6nc9Sg2

✅ Submit feedback to Reps. Pappas and Goodlander —They are collecting constituent feedback on the proposed ICE facility and they will be sharing the results directly with the Department of Homeland Security.

✅ Participate in upcoming events!

✅ Join a nearby bridge brigade with coordinated messaging around the warehouse - find one on NHBBD https://www.nhbbd.org/

✅ Educate your community! This is a regional fight and people need to know what is being planned here in New England. You may think everyone knows because you are plugged in, but many people who would be outraged simply do not know what is going on.

✅ Help us connect with U.S. Senators and Reps from other New England states for joint statements and actions (email comms4ninh@proton.me)
