(The Center Square) — New Hampshire's all-Democrat congressional delegation has filed a proposal that would require ICE to provide advance notice to states and local governments if they plan to build a new detention facility or center.

The Respect for Local Communities Act, filed Monday, would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to hold public hearings and get approval from state and local officials before building a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility or detention center. It would also require the Homeland Secretary to notify lawmakers.
