Mayor Jay Kahn’s Statement on ICE Activity in Keene, NH – August 11, 2026
"Monday’s federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action in Keene has heightened concerns about safety of people in our community and the role of our City in federal law enforcement activities. Based on my inquiries, I don’t believe that ICE’s presence or actions had assistance from the Keene Police Department. I also know the penalties the state legislature has established to punish local governments that obstruct federal enforcement agencies. ICE’s enforcement actions raise an opportunity to describe the limits of local government in protecting people’s civil rights.
I understand the anxiety and fear that people in our community could be targeted solely on the basis of the color of their skin or their speech accents. This is abhorrent, but we have observed incidents doing just that in other cities. If this is occurring in Keene, I hope to hear from people affected. I have been in touch with our federal delegation and will keep them informed of ICE activities in our city.
I also know that rumors circulate fast in our community. I have tried to track those down to the extent I have been able, and I will continue to do so to minimize misinformation.
I have called the City Council to a workshop on Monday, August 17th at 6 PM in City Hall, 2nd floor Council Chambers, regarding federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in Keene. The format and start time should provide sufficient opportunity for public comment."
One week!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
Work on the Downtown Infrastructure Project is continuing, and here's what you can expect over the next several weeks.
Liberty Utilities will continue replacing gas lines throughout the project area. This work is an important step that must be completed before other parts of the Downtown Infrastructure Project can move forward.
You'll also start seeing Casella Construction crews in the area as work begins on the underground sewer system. Activity will increase gradually as additional crews and equipment arrive.
Construction schedules may change due to weather or field conditions, but we'll continue sharing updates as work progresses.
Thank you for your patience as we make these long-term improvements to downtown. Stay up to date at KeeneNH.gov/Downtown.
