Final reading vote is scheduled for Tuesday. But to stop measures like this from happening, we’ve got to change who pays attention when the NC GOP threatens our public health. You can join us to talk to people in your neighborhood who sat out the last election right now 🔗 bit.ly/esbejoinus

This type of Bill is not about eligibility. Other states have shown us its real impacts on high-risk deliveries, neonatal ICU stays, and an erosion of trust between communities and their state. North Carolina deserves a Medicaid funding proposal that provides care to all North Carolinians, not fear.

040

Similar “surveillance audits” have incorrectly flagged 14% of applicants, despite being U.S. citizens and legal residents. This means that 1 in every 7 people that North Carolina refers to ICE will probably be a mistake affecting citizens or lawful residents whose cases are simply pending.

150

The Bill would require local social workers to report Medicaid applicants to the Department of Homeland Security, even though similar measures in other states have wrongfully targeted 12,000 people in just the last year.

House Speaker Destin Hall’s Medicaid Funding Bill will make every child in our community less safe.

And like the people detained in other cases we’ve reported on, the people targeted by these detentions were doing things “the right way.”

053

People on their way to work are being interrogated, detained, and transported to detention centers where they are forced to choose between prolonged detention and “voluntary departure.”

163

And so far this year, we’ve recorded 15 cases of traffic stops conducted by ICE in the Charlotte area, particularly in the eastern and southern parts of the city. And these figures only include cases that Siembra NC has been able to confirm.

121

The Siembra NC hotline has documented at least 20 other cases of asylum seekers detained at their check-in appointments this year. In the last 6 months, we have documented at least 18 detentions of people who accidentally entered areas under military jurisdiction.

You can do something about these detentions right now. Join the parents who are helping their kids write cards to Denis and Genesis’s family in Honduras and to our US Senators in Washington D.C. 🔗tr.ee/letterwriting

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.

197

They won't tell her when those appointments will be, so she can't go back to work as a pharmacy tech, and they won't give her driver's license or passport back, so she also can't drive. Our communities can help support Jackeline, Karen, and other families that are experiencing detention.

041

Jackeline's been released with an ankle monitor and instructed to not leave the house on days when ICE officers will conduct bi-weekly visits. Now Jackeline and her mom need our support.

130

Jackeline's mom Karen had to fund her daughter's legal defense to bring her home. This administration, which has tried to deny everyone's bond, was forced to release her.

110

As of Tuesday, April 14, Jackeline has been released from detention. Jackeline was detained at her regularly scheduled check-in appointment three weeks ago. You can donate to their fundraiser here: tr.ee/jackelinesupport

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."

11815

They can mandate the agency release reports on who has detained. It would be their first report in the last two years.

0174

We deserve to know when kids in our state are detained and deported. Call our US Senators and ask them to demand transparency from the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Thom Tillis: (919) 856-4630 Sen. Ted Budd: 336-941-4470

And today, elected officials across Durham pledged to accompany any children to their immigration appointments – and you can sign up to join them at bit.ly/siembramncvol

1165

This is who the Trump Administration and their enablers at the North Carolina General Assembly say when they reference “the worst of the worst”. This whole year, the calls to our hotline have been from people who were “doing everything right”.

1175

They were taken away in an SUV, watching through tinted windows as their aunt stood outside the office, not knowing they had been detained. Their aunt could not have expected that in less than 48 hours their family would be in Honduras.

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.

As one employee told us, "We are supposed to be a safe place. We have to do something more to protect our community so they feel safe getting services here." Our leaders must stand firmly against these detentions and declare essential service sites off-limits for immigration enforcement.

140

Mecklenburg County employees who were present at the time of Elmer's detention told us that other parents were so afraid they did not leave the premises for hours afterward.

131

Families go to places like the WIC office in Charlotte to receive support accessing nutritious food. ICE officers detaining parents where they go to access essential services is unacceptable.

No one should have to choose between feeding their child and losing their freedom. But this is the story of Elmer, his pregnant wife Kimberlin, and their two girls.

We need leaders who will listen to people instead of corporations, who defend families and workers instead of rogue violent federal agents, and who care more about giving North Carolinians healthcare than giving billionaires tax cuts.

0196

Thousands of Mecklenburg, Edgecombe, Martin and Bertie voters handed decisive victories to Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler – who just a few weeks ago won the endorsement of Siembra NC members – Veleria Levy, and Patricia Smith, candidates who promised to be leaders who deliver, not just promise.

1192

They thought they could ignore their constituents, probably in return for favors from NC GOP leaders and the billionaires behind the scenes.

1201

These three were the deciding "Yes" votes that allowed the GOP to implement policies that directly attacked our immigrant neighbors last October and that gutted our state’s carbon reduction goals, prioritizing Duke Energy’s profits over the air we breathe and the climate our children will inherit.

1393

Nasif Majeed, Shelly Willingham, and Carla Cunningham all lost their elections tonight after their unforgivable votes to hand the GOP the power to attack our families and our future.
