A North Carolina city has approved a measure declaring itself a "Fourth Amendment Workplace" and boosting protections for illegal immigrant workers targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Durham City Council passed the resolution on Tuesday with a unanimous vote to shield city workers against raids and arrests carried out by federal officials, according to The Duke Chronicle.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches and arrests, and requires warrants with probable cause of a crime before seizing a person or property.

The resolution instructs city staff to "uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments," The Chronicle reported.

The city has "historically pursued equity and safety for all residents," the resolution stated, adding that having the trust of residents is essential to carrying out its operations.

The measure emphasizes that the threat of "unconstitutional seizure" has prevented migrants in the city from "safely engaging in public life, including pursuing employment and education."

The resolution comes after four ICE agents in plain clothes showed up without warning at the Durham County Courthouse in July to detain an illegal immigrant facing a felony charge for domestic violence, although the man did not make it to his scheduled court appearance and no arrests were made, WRAL reported.

How about respecting your civic responsibilities as well, which includes turning in lawbreakers, such as illegal immigrants?

Durham is an expensive ghetto sort of like PG county Maryland.  There is no middle class -- just an academic and professional elite trying to out-SJW one another.  The city council is prone to shouting matches.  I recall a fist fight on the school board sometime in the 90s. 

However, the city is home to one of the seven manmade wonders of the world:

We have a bridge like that near where I live.  The bridge is for a railroad crossing, and the space below the bridge is less than 9 feet.  There are huge signs on both sides and all sorts of dangly bits hanging off bars before the bridge itself, and at least once a month some stupid truck hits the bridge, which inevitably causes a delay in the trains because the engineers have to come out and examine the bridge for damage before letting trains cross it.

After scores of accidents, Norfolk Southern installed a steel H-beam which shreds the trucks before they encounter the bridge.  And from all available evidence it has done a magnificent job!
