Durham, NC Looks To Provide “4th Amendment Protections” To Illegals

Weirdly, this is not showing up on any of the major local news stations

NC City Becomes a ‘Fourth Amendment Workplace’ amid ICE Crackdown

The city of Durham, North Carolina, is pushing back against the work of President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Durham City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution to make the city a “Fourth Amendment Workplace,” the Chronicle reported Wednesday.

The article continued:

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against arbitrary searches and arrests and serves as the basis of search warrants with a probable cause of crime. The resolution directs city staff to “uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments.”

The resolution says the city has “historically pursued equity and safety for all residents” and the trust of Durhamites is essential to the city carrying out its operations. It says the threat of “unconstitutional seizure” has prevented immigrants in Durham from “safely engaging in public life, including pursuing employment and education.”

Except, illegals are illegally present in the US, and law enforcement, particularly ICE and the Border Patrol, have every legal right to detain them pending deportation. There’s nothing arbitrary about it.

Also, the idiot Democrats who run Durham even say it when discussing the 4th: “citizens.” Illegals are not citizens. The uber-smart folks at the Duke Chronicle also mentioned the word “citizen.”

Oh, Durham has a violent and a property crime rate that are double that of North Carolina, and is a 3 (100 is best).

The Chronicle referred to an incident that happened in July when ICE agents detained an illegal alien charged with a felony at the Durham County Courthouse, which alerted citizens and officials to the fact that ICE agents were there.

The Durham Chronicle forgot to mention what it was

The following month, the outlet reported ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes, most against children, across the country. The article said, “Indeed, over the weekend, ICE agents arrested 45-year-old illegal alien Porfirio Bernal-Fregoso of Mexico in Durham County, North Carolina. Bernal-Fregoso has been convicted of attempted rape of a child and indecent liberties with a child.”

Do you Democrats really want to die on the hill of protecting this guy from Los Federales? If Durham does try and shield illegal every person involved should be charged.
