Kelly Ayotte released Thursday, shows the warehouse at 50 Robert Milligan Parkway in Merrimack that the federal government intends to convert into an immigrant detention center. Kelly Ayotte has released a set of documents she said she received Thursday evening from the Department of Homeland Security regarding an immigrant detention center the federal government is planning for Merrimack. The U.S. government is building a network of detention centers throughout the country to hold immigrants prior to deportation, according to the documents. Ayotte quickly put out a statement denying this and called Lyons’ assertions “simply not true.”Later that evening, Ayotte published the economic impact documents she said she received from the federal government. Other existing ICE detention centers have been plagued by allegations of inhumane treatment.
