NC Enforces Immigration and Education Policies | US News

North Carolina just enacted a sweeping new law that bans sanctuary city policies, forcing state agencies to cooperate closely with ICE, including receiving federal training. The law also mandates that only U.S. citizens and legal residents receive state benefits like Medicaid and unemployment, and cities that violate it could lose immunity and face lawsuits. Governor Josh Stein vetoed the bill, but Republicans overrode it with help from two absent Democrats — and they also overrode two other vetoes targeting divisive concepts in schools and DEI programs, with a third still pending Senate approval. This marks a major shift toward federal alignment on immigration and a reshaping of education and government policy across the state.
