Ayotte Signs Bills Aimed at Banning Sanctuary Policies, Allowing Police to Work with ICE

  • Governor Kelly Ayotte signed two bills on Thursday, May 22, 2025, banning sanctuary city policies and requiring police cooperation with ICE in New Hampshire.
  • Ayotte had prioritized banning sanctuary policies to prevent New Hampshire from adopting practices that shelter undocumented immigrants, contrasting with Massachusetts’ approach.
  • The laws prohibit state and local entities from restricting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, standardize policies across municipalities, and allow police to enter ICE agreements under Section 287.
  • The bills enable holding individuals up to 48 hours for ICE transfer and include measures effective within 60 days and others starting in 2026, with Ayotte stating, “We are the safest state in the nation.”
  • Supporters say the laws enforce existing rules and improve safety, while opponents warn they may increase racial profiling, undermine police-community trust, and restrict civil liberties.
