This is still happening, even if it's not being reported. Call the Siembra hotline immediately if you see ICE, CBP, or any other federal agents: 336-543-0353
We are over 1,300 miles away from the border. There is no justification for CBP showing up in Durham with long guns, refusing to show a warrant, and kidnapping people. As a naturalized immigrant and elected official, even I felt shaken documenting it happen.
This is not about safety, it’s about intimidation. And I reject it with everything I have. Durham stands with our immigrant families, all of them.
If you want to get involved, I encourage you to make a contribution to Carolina Migrant Network, which provides legal services for individuals in removal proceedings, and also provides legal education on the immigration system.
