路透华盛顿2月24日电- 新罕布什尔州共和党州长周二表示，特朗普政府已取消在该州梅里马克建造移民拘留中心的计划，此前全国范围内计划中的拘留中心激增，地方政府正为此苦苦应对。
“国土安全部将不再推进梅里马克拟议的移民与海关执法局（ICE）设施项目，”新英格兰地区州长凯利·阿约特（Kelly Ayotte）在上周与国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）在华盛顿会面后，于社交平台X上发文称。

阿约特表示，她向波士顿东北约50英里（80.5公里）处的城镇表达了当地关切，且新罕布什尔州执法部门将继续与国土安全部合作，确保该州与加拿大的北部边境安全。
诺姆在国土安全部的一份声明中证实了此次会面，并表示将继续与新罕布什尔州合作，称该州是“坚定盟友”。
这一撤回决定正值共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普兑现其全面移民竞选承诺之际。驱逐行动中的强硬策略在美国选民中引发不满，而11月中期选举将决定国会控制权。
美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）和边境巡逻队特工已涌入洛杉矶、芝加哥等美国主要城市，挨家挨户搜查并与居民发生冲突。今年1月，联邦特工在明尼阿波利斯击毙两名美国公民，去年得克萨斯州也有一名公民被枪击身亡。
特朗普政府同时正扩建拘留中心以安置移民，今年为此投入超过380亿美元建设资金，该举措遭到民主党批评，也引发阿约特及其他共和党人的担忧。
民主党人、民权组织、神职人员及其他批评者指出，由GEO集团（GEO.N）和CoreCivic（CXW.N）等公司运营的拘留中心存在人权、法律和健康问题，包括恶劣条件、虐待及麻疹等疾病爆发。
2026年年初至今，至少已有8人在ICE拘留中心死亡，而2025年全年至少有31人死亡。
周二，民主党主导的马里兰州起诉特朗普政府，要求暂停其在华盛顿西部华盛顿县的拘留中心建设。
国土安全部官员驳斥了拘留中心被比作“仓库”的指控。
参议院民主党人已阻挠国土安全部拨款，以限制ICE权力。白宫发言人卡罗琳·利维特（Karoline Leavitt）周二向记者表示，特朗普将在当晚的国情咨文演讲中呼吁批准相关拨款。

US halts plan for ICE facility in New Hampshire, governor says
February 24, 2026 4:36 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) – The Trump administration has scrapped plans for an immigration detention facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire, the state’s Republican governor said on Tuesday, as localities grapple with a surge in planned detention centers nationwide.
“The Department of Homeland Security will not move forward with the proposed ICE facility in Merrimack,” the New England state’s governor, Kelly Ayotte, wrote on X following a meeting with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in Washington last week.

Ayotte said she expressed the concerns of the town roughly 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) northeast of Boston, and that New Hampshire law enforcement would continue to cooperate with DHS to secure the state’s northern border with Canada.
Noem, in a statement from DHS, confirmed the meeting and said it would continue to work with New Hampshire, calling it “a strong partner.”
The withdrawal comes as Republican President Donald Trump enacts his sweeping immigration campaign pledges. The deportation drive’s aggressive tactics have been met with growing U.S. voter disapproval ahead of the November midterm election that will decide control of Congress.
ICE and U.S. Border Patrol agents have surged into major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago, sweeping through neighborhoods and clashing with residents. Federal agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January, and another citizen was shot and killed last year in Texas.
Trump’s administration is also moving to increase detention centers to house immigrants as it ramps up its raids, spending more than $38 billion this year for facilities that have drawn criticism from Democrats as well as concerns from Ayotte and other Republicans.
Democrats, civil rights groups, clergy and other critics have cited human rights, legal and health concerns, including dismal conditions, poor treatment and diseases such as measles at various detention facilities, which are run by companies including GEO Group (GEO.N) and CoreCivic (CXW.N).
At least eight people have died in ICE detention centers since the start of 2026, following at least 31 deaths last year.
On Tuesday, Democratic-led Maryland sued the Trump administration to halt a detention facility in its western Washington County.
DHS officials have rejected any claims that the buildings are akin to “warehouses.”
Senate Democrats have blocked funding for DHS as they seek to rein in ICE. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday that Trump would use his State of the Union speech later that night to call for funding to be approved.
