The New Hampshire Senate approved a bill today that would allow local and state law enforcement to sidestep federal border agents and arrest migrants crossing illegally into the northern New England state.

“At the northern border, nearly eight percent of encounters are with single adults, military-age men from hostile nations, and not families,” said state Sen. Rachel Caron in urging passage of the Senate bill. “Open border activists are trying to pretend that a crisis does not exist. They want to ignore the explosion of illegal encounters on the northern border.”
