The North Carolina legislature is moving an anti-immigrant bill, HB 10, that would force collaboration between federal immigration officials and local sheriff departments to hold and detain undocumented people arrested under their jurisdiction.
The ACLU of North Carolina opposes this bill because NC’s HB 10 is attempting to take power away from voters who elected sheriffs that opposed spending local resources on ICE enforcement. We’re demanding our leaders stand with the immigrant community.

HB 10 would:
-
Take local resources to do federal immigration work.
-
Increase mistrust and fear in immigrant communities
