Issue	Stated position
Immigration	Supported the Grafton County Sheriff’s Office joining ICE’s 287(g) program in March 2025. She said the agreement would not involve asking people “out of the blue” about immigration status or racial profiling, and that the department would retain discretion. (NHPR)
Immigration	Said the agreement was intended to help transport people facing criminal charges who might have an ICE detainer, not to conduct immigration raids. (The Dartmouth)
Immigration	Her office withdrew from the 287(g) agreement in May 2026. County Commissioner Katie Wood Hedberg said the decision followed constituent concerns and burdensome public-records requests. (NHPR; The Boston Globe)
