NorthEast News reviewed a New Hampshire Public Radio analysis of local police involvement in federal immigration enforcement. The report says local departments accounted for nearly half of 198 people detained in New Hampshire from May through July, as 287(g) partnerships expanded.
That figure raises practical questions for residents: which agencies participate, what those partnerships authorize, and how local police resources intersect with federal enforcement. The underlying analysis is data-based, so the details and definitions matter when assessing what the numbers do and do not say.
