HB 78: Prohibit Immigration Enforcement in Churches, Schools and Hospitals
This would prohibit state and local law enforcement officers and ICE agents from participating in immigration enforcement in schools, churches, or hospitals.
The ACLU of North Carolina works in the North Carolina General Assembly and local communities to defend and advance the civil rights and civil liberties of all North Carolinians. When the state legislature is in session, we review every bill for its potential impact on civil liberties and often conduct advocacy on dozens of pieces of legislation at any given time.
The ACLU works with a variety important issues for North Carolinians within the legislature, including:
Criminal Legal Reform We seek to end excessively harsh criminal legal policies that result in mass incarceration, over-criminalization, and racial injustice, and stand in the way of a fair and equal society.
LGBTQ Equality We work to ensure that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association.
Reproductive Freedom We work to ensure that every person can make the best decision for themselves and their family about whether and when to have a child without undue political interference.
Voting Rights Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and the fundamental right upon which all our civil liberties rest. We work to protect and expand Americansʼ freedom to vote.
Immigrant Rights We are dedicated to expanding and enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of immigrants and to combating public and private discrimination against them.
