US EditionSome N.C. Democratic Lawmakers Break From Party to Pass Republican Priorities
WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 30 – Republicans secured bipartisan support to override vetoes on eight bills, including repealing a 2030 greenhouse gas reduction mandate and allowing guns on private school property.
- On Tuesday, North Carolina lawmakers in Raleigh overrode Gov. Stein’s veto of `Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act`, with Charlotte Democratic Rep. Carla Cunningham voting to override.
- Amid a packed agenda on guns and immigration, Republicans needed Democratic support to override Gov. Stein's veto of HB 318, the `Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act`.
- In the legislation, North Carolina sheriff departments must notify ICE and detain eligible individuals until agents arrive, critics argue it may prolong detention beyond legal protections.
- Following Tuesday’s session, eight bills, including HB 318, became law over Gov. Josh Stein’s objections after Charlotte Democratic Rep. Nasif Majeed provided the deciding vote.
- With the statute now in force, sheriffs must notify ICE and detain individuals up to 48 hours, potentially affecting enforcement dynamics as North Carolina’s foreign-born population has grown 763% since 1990.
