NH delegation responds to ICE crackdown across the country

Senators reached a deal Thursday to avoid a government shutdown. The deal funds most of the government, and also gives Republicans and Democrats time to negotiate on future funding for the Department of Homeland Security. At the center of the negotiations is the federal immigration crackdown across the country and criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who shot and killed a U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis last weekend. We hear how New Hampshire’s congressional delegation is responding to the immigration crackdown around the country. In New Hampshire, Gov. Kelly Ayotte said this week she's reached out to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security, saying the town of Merrimack should have a say on ICE's alleged proposal to establish a detention facility there. And a federal judge blocked New Hampshire from ending annual mandatory auto inspections, which were supposed to permanently end starting in February. We discuss these stories on this week’s edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with NHPR's Josh Rogers and Mara Hoplamazian.
