North Carolina City Declares Itself a 'Fourth Amendment Workplace' to Protect City Workers From ICE
Durham's resolution requires warrants for ICE access to city buildings, aiming to protect immigrants and city workers amid concerns over unconstitutional seizures, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Durham City Council unanimously passed a resolution declaring the city a 'Fourth Amendment Workplace' to increase protections against ICE raids and arrests.
- After ICE incidents earlier this year and in July, multiple actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including four agents at Durham County Courthouse, alarmed migrants and immigrant residents, prompting city council action over fears of unconstitutional seizure.
- The resolution directs city officials to enforce the Fourth Amendment within workplaces and municipal agencies, require warrants for federal immigration access, and report barriers to training.
- County officials rejected the designation, calling it 'no legal or factual basis,' while supporters hailed it as a community win and migrants and their families spoke in favor, with critics calling for federal intervention.
- Durham's action follows Carrboro's May resolution and comes amid state tensions including last year's North Carolina General Assembly override of Governor Josh Stein's veto on House Bill 10 and federal labeling of Durham as a so-called 'sanctuary' community by the Department of Health and Homeland Security.
