That ultimately led to the resignation of one of her cabinet officials.

The governor said she had tried to get the Trump administration to answer questions about their plans for this prison camp in Merrimack, but they wouldn't answer her.

That became a problem for Governor Ayotte when the head of ICE was asked about it at a Senate hearing a few days ago.

He not only confirmed that the Merrimack-Trump prison camp was a go, he said his agency had specifically

spoken with Governor Ayotte about it.

They talked to her personally.

He said, quote, DHS has worked with Governor Ayotte.

We've spoken to the governor about the facility.

Governor Ayotte immediately denied that was true.

She once again claimed that she had no idea what any of this was about.

She said the Trump administration had sent her no details about their plans for Merrimack, which is why the White House promptly sent over those typo-riddled plans for the prison in her state and how great they'd be for Oklahoma.

Meanwhile, as we've seen everywhere ICE wants to put one of these prison camps, the pressure against doing any such thing is growing and growing.

Voters in New Hampshire, local residents continue to protest it.

New Hampshire's entire congressional delegation, both the Senate and the House, is demanding answers about it.

Even the governor next door in Massachusetts has called on Kelly Ayotte to oppose it.

For her part, Governor Ayotte won't say whether she's for it or against it.

She's just proclaiming to be profoundly confused.

which is getting to be a political catastrophe for Kelly Ayotte as the people of New Hampshire stand up against this thing.

More on that ahead.
