| New sheriffs in Wake and Durham will no longer cooperate with immigration agency |
| 2018-12-09 |
| [News & Obsever] RALEIGH - Newly elected Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker said Friday that his office will no longer participate in a controversial immigration program. For years Wake has been part of 287(g), which allows local law enforcement agencies to partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to identify and eventually deport people living in the country illegally who have been charged with a crime. Baker announced the end of Wake’s participation at a news conference Friday afternoon. "We serve a lot of communities," Baker said as he stood next to Uriel Rodriguez, a middle school student he met while campaigning. "We want to make it so that the Wake County Sheriff’s Office treats everybody the same and improves the quality of life for each and every person. It’s about humanity. It’s about just caring for people. That’s a large part of what this office will be doing, moving forward." |

| #8 Durham is as crooked as the day is long - transplanted tech lefty Democrats in the Research Triangle Park and university progressives have taken over. Trump should order the federal agencies to withhold federal funds. |

| #6 I drive thru the Carolinas a lot. If it's not Asheville or the gentrified parts of Charlotte, it's mostly dogpatch. Columbia SC is as bad as Newark. |

| #5 The employees of the local universities influence politics there a lot. My observation of the court systems there is that a lot of corruption exists, especially in the prosecutors offices. |

| #4 Maybe cut them off from ALL federal assistance. The police are not there to decide what laws to uphold. |

| #2 They might want to take a look at what happened in New Jersey after the city decided that enforcing the law against criminals was mean. MS-13 just found a new home. For ICE, this might be like hunting over a bait pile. Have at it, boys! |
