At the direction of Donald Trump, North Carolina has become the latest target of his unwarranted, unethical, and deeply unpopular immigration “policies.” Border Patrol agents are patrolling neighborhoods, intimidating families, and terrorizing our neighbors — many of whom are U.S. citizens — simply because of the way they look, speak, or where they shop.
No one should fear walking out their front door. No child should worry that their family might not come home. No community in North Carolina should be turned into a political stage for cruelty.
Let’s be clear: Democrats reject this fear-mongering. We stand firmly with every neighbor, every family, and every community affected. Our strength comes from unity. In moments like these, we protect one another by staying informed, staying connected, and sharing trusted resources.
We encourage you to pass along the tools below to help keep your community safe, empowered, and aware of their rights. When we look out for each other — when we show up for each other — we reject the abuse of power unfolding on our streets.
Stay peaceful. Stay safe. Stay united.
