North Carolina sheriffs will now be required to comply and cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)as they seek to detain and deport migrants due to a recent law passed by the state's House and Senate.
Under the new law, law enforcement officers who can't determine if someone detained is a legal resident or citizen in the U.S., they must directly report them to ICE. Immigrants will be held up to 48 hours of the detainer being created, which only apply to those who are being held for felonies, class A1 misdemeanors and violations of "protective order."
