North Carolina lawmakers overwhelmingly voted for legislation that will require law enforcement across the state to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The GOP-dominated state legislature on Wednesday completed its override of Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto against HB 10, a bill that effectively bans sanctuary city policies across the state. The new law requires sheriffs to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers on non-citizens that have been arrested for serious crimes and are suspected of living in the country unlawfully.

“The bill itself is purely common sense,” Senate leader Phil Berger said after the upper chamber voted for the override in a 30-19 vote, according to ABC11. “I question why anyone in law enforcement — these elected sheriffs — would deny a community the safety that is allowed by taking the process in this way.”
