Feds placed two NH communities on a list of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions' — then took down the list
Flanked by conservative lawmakers and sheriffs, Gov. Kelly Ayotte speaks to reporters before signing two pieces of anti-sanctuary city legislation. (Photo by William Skipworth/New Hampshire Bulletin) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a list of 'sanctuary jurisdictions' — a term for towns and cities that have policies hindering local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials — that included Lebanon and Hanover Thursday, but by the end of the weekend, it had pulled that list offline. In unveiling the list (which has been archived online by third parties), DHS demanded Lebanon and Hanover, as well as communities in 34 other states and Washington D.C., revise their policies. The list was mandated by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April requiring DHS to produce and publicize such a list. Soon after its release, however, law enforcement officials nationwide pushed back. National Sheriffs' Association President Sheriff Kieran Donahue called the list an 'unnecessary erosion of unity and collaboration with law enforcement' on Saturday, and said it 'not only violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement, but it also has the potential to strain the relationship between Sheriffs and the White House administration.' In a statement to States Newsroom, DHS didn't answer questions as to why the list was removed. 'As we have previously stated, the list is being constantly reviewed and can be changed at any time and will be updated regularly,' a DHS spokesperson said. 'Designation of a sanctuary jurisdiction is based on the evaluation of numerous factors, including self-identification as a Sanctuary Jurisdiction, noncompliance with Federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration laws, restrictions on information sharing, and legal protections for illegal aliens.' The saga came after New Hampshire officials themselves demanded the policies be re-written. In May, Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed two anti-sanctuary city bills — House Bill 511 and Senate Bill 62 — into law. When they go into effect in January, the bills will require New Hampshire cities and towns to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers 'if safe to do so,' prohibit policies that would ignore federal immigration-related directives and authorities, forbid local police and sheriffs from investigating the citizenship status of someone in their custody — unless that person is under investigation for violating New Hampshire law — and take away state or local governments' authority to prohibit their police or sheriffs from entering into voluntary agreements with ICE. At the bill signing ceremony in May, Ayotte declared, 'there will be no sanctuary cities in New Hampshire.' Legislators at the ceremony said they'd identified between nine and 12 communities with sanctuary city laws that hinder law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities.

‘Inappropriate behavior': Hanover Public Schools releases statement after wild senior prank
What began as a harmless prank shortly crossed the line, as Hanover Public Schools addressed a disastrous senior prank. In a joint statement released by Hanover High School Principal Matthew Mattos and Superintendent Matthew Ferron on Thursday night, around 90 students, all presumably seniors in the Class of '25, entered the school after hours to perform their senior prank. Unfortunately, students went a little overboard, and it turned into 'inappropriate behavior.' 'The actions taken were immature, disrespectful, and fell far short of the creativity or humor typically associated with senior pranks.' Around 11 PM, Hanover police noticed suspicious activity coming from the high school. Upon entering the school, they found a huge mess. No students were in the building. The principal was notified. As a result of the prank, no permanent damage was done, but administrators and school workers were left with a hefty cleanup, including items like toilet paper, confetti, paper towels, and plastic wrap. School officials say that the most time-consuming part of the cleanup involved smashed fruit, which was mostly pineapples scattered all through the school. Video shows the aftermath of the 'prank'. 'I was honestly disgusted when I first came in,' Alexa Sawin, a Junior at Hanover High, said. Admin, teachers, custodial staff, and students were able to clean up the building and get the school fully operational by 8 AM on Friday. 'It was just really sad and upsetting to see the teachers in such a distraught way, one of my science teachers almost cried in front of us because he was just so disappointed in them,' Sawin said. Since the incident, officers of the Class of 2025 have taken ownership of the incident and have issued a formal apology. They will also cover any costs related to custodial overtime, professional cleaning services, or any damaged items that are discovered. 'While the actions of those involved were clearly inappropriate, we also recognize that young people make mistakes, and this moment presents an important opportunity for learning, growth, and accountability.' 'I'm really surprised and blown away that Hanover High School seniors graduating the next day did something so stupid,' said Hanover resident Tracy Loughlin. At this time, Hanover police are investigating to determine those involved, but their identities and disciplinary actions will remain confidential. This is a developing story.
