The deportation of 6-year-old Denis and 11-year-old Genesis and their parents has made many folks aware of one of the most disturbing patterns of ICE activity in our state.

ICE continues to detain people who live and work in our state. And as we saw in the recent deportation of two Durham elementary school students, these detention have targeted people who were "doing things the right way."

They were going to all of their appointments. And now their teachers, their peers at Burton Elementary, and Durham neighborhood are left missing them tremendously. Genesis, Denis and their parents were abducted without warning at a routine Charlotte immigration check-in on Monday.

Apparently, it must be stated: our homes are 4th Amendment Homes. A new CBS News report shows in May 2025 ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons secretly authored a memo to ICE agents authorizing them to enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Tomorrow should be promised. Last Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was killed by federal agents while monitoring an ICE operation in her neighborhood—an act of community defense that thousands of North Carolinians have bravely undertaken in recent months.

🤨“Is this ICE?” If you see a suspicious vehicle or someone being detained by an officer you can’t identify, there are a few details that might help you answer this question.

Border Patrol’s operation in North Carolina made our construction industry grind to a halt. But NC House speaker wants to score points in the culture war, so CBP did a “great job,” according to him.

Last Thursday, Speaker Destin Hall told a reporter “ICE and CBP have a difficult job… we just ask that they come back.” We just didn’t know he meant Thanksgiving week.
