Re-ref Com On Appropriations/Base Budget

Apr 30, 2026

Summary

The bill nullifies a recent law that expanded jail cooperation with ICE, mandates that any federal immigration arrest, search, or detention in North Carolina be based on a judicial warrant, and allocates $4 million in one‑time grants to four nonprofit groups for immigration legal services. It limits state and local officials from honoring ICE detainers without a court order and creates a reporting system for the funded programs.
