They brag about how the camp will, this prison camp will bring a ton of jobs to the state, to New Hampshire.

They write about all the positive ripple effects this Trump prison camp will have on the, quote, Oklahoma economy.

Wait a minute, this new prison camp in Southern New Hampshire is gonna be a boon for the great people of Oklahoma?

Why does it say that?

On the document they sent to the state government in New Hampshire to try to get them all psyched about this Trump prison camp, they not only placed Merrimack, New Hampshire somehow in Oklahoma, they also forgot to remove the comments, the internal comments ICE officials sent back and forth among themselves when they were putting this thing together.

After people started pointing out what a mess this thing was, the White House apparently sent over to New Hampshire a revised copy of the same document, and it at least had some corrections.

It had the right state name on it.

That's nice.

They also got rid of the internal comments from Homeland Security officials, but it was still filled with other mistakes.

The document brags about how this Trump prison camp is going to bring millions of dollars to New Hampshire by way of state income taxes and state sales taxes.

despite the fact that New Hampshire does not have either of those taxes.

The document also references all the tax benefit that's going to flow to the county government in New Hampshire, despite the fact that the New Hampshire government doesn't work that way.

It's not a county government.

It's a town government.

What are you talking about?

But as much of an embarrassment as this is for the Trump administration, which apparently can't even spell New Hampshire, let alone lie to it with a straight face, the person for whom this has become a real political debacle turns out to be the New Hampshire governor.

Because she is a Republican, her name is Kelly Ayotte, and she has botched this thing in about 30 different ways.

When the ACLU published documents earlier this year showing that the Trump administration had talked to at least some officials in New Hampshire about this forthcoming prison camp, Governor Ayotte said, well, she didn't know anything about it.

She blamed a state agency under her purview for failing to tell her.

about these discussions.
