We are where town we've got 30,000 people.
Well, about 80 people attended that Zoom, which was pretty amazing for a Sunday night Zoom in New Hampshire.
People are terrified.
I'm hearing from constituents that are people of color that if ICE is in our town, they don't want to leave their homes.
They're not going to send their kids to school.
I mean, we're seeing what's happening in Minnesota.
You know, we're not blind.
We can see the illegality, the violence, the disregard for human life, really.
That's what it comes down to.
So people are terrified.
The other thing around this facility that they have purchased, now the deed has not been registered, so we don't know
exactly who bought it yet but the longer they take to file the deed the more it looks like the government has gotten it and trucks are going in with supplies and and setting up equipment so it's pretty clear what's happening but there's a child care facility that's very close to this uh detention center it's the merrimack ymca and they just expanded their child care facility so that's very close by
An abutter to the land that this facility will be located in is the Nashua Gun Club.
So they use it to do target practice.
And so you're gonna have target practice right next to this facility.
This facility is also located on contaminated PFAS land.
And that's something that is an issue.
