Plans for proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, N.H., won’t move forward, governor says - The Boston Globe β€œWe can breathe easy again,” said the chair of the Merrimack Town Council, which had opposed the warehouse.

β€œToday, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. β€œThis is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.”
