A House bill that directs North Carolina sheriffs to comply with requests by federal agents interested in picking up jail inmates they believe are in the country has picked up steam again. A Senate judiciary committee approved an updated version of the bill Tuesday.
Sejal Zota, the legal director for the Just Futures Law advocacy group, voices opposition to the immigration-related bill during a state Senate judiciary committee hearing at the Legislative Office Building on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The bill enforces compliance with federal immigration officers’ requests to detain inmates for sheriffs and jail administrators.
Sheriffs or other law enforcement officials already are tasked with checking an inmate’s legal status if they are charged with serious crimes, according to state law. If a determination cannot be made on someone’s legal status, a query should be sent to ICE. Hall said the bill would make communities safer. He cited incidents where federal immigration officers should have been contacted about an inmate, but they were later released and went on to commit more crimes.
The legislation also raises serious constitutional concerns of due process violations and causes more problems for law enforcement, said Sejal Zota, legal director with the Just Futures Law group, which assists immigrants.
