DOVER — Walkers, marchers and bikers are scheduled to converge on the Strafford County Jail Saturday, as members of the New Hampshire Immigrant Solidarity Network and allied groups will travel across four states to spotlight the the Granite State’s only Immigration and Customs Enforcement-contracted facility.
The jail, located at the county complex in Dover, houses roughly 100 immigrant detainees going through federal court processes. The 2019 Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice will see people trek from Concord, New Hampshire, Boston, Massachusetts, Montpelier, Vermont and Kittery, Maine; a combined 280 miles. In New Hampshire, the walk will commence on Wednesday, beginning at the U.S. District Court and spanning 36 miles.
