North Carolina's Dem governor vetoes bill requiring state, local cooperation with ICE on illegal immigrants
Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper on Wednesday vetoed a proposal that would have made it mandatory for state and local law enforcement to comply with detainer requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Republicans blasted Cooper and said he is favoring the interests of illegal immigrants over basic public safety. Under the plan, sheriff’s offices and other law enforcement departments would have been required to hold detainees who are illegal immigrants until ICE personnel could come retrieve them. Those who did not honor the requests would have been subject to dismissal, The Wall Street Journal reported.
