NC Republicans Override Governor's Veto

North Carolina Republicans just pulled off a major legislative win, overriding Governor Josh Stein’s vetoes on three key bills — one on immigration enforcement and two on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs — despite not having a supermajority, thanks to absent Democratic votes. The new immigration law, the Border Protection Act, mandates state law enforcement to partner with ICE, bans sanctuary campuses at state universities, and strips legal benefits like Medicaid and housing aid from undocumented residents. Meanwhile, DEI initiatives are now banned in K-12 schools and higher education, with the latter even prohibiting universities from investigating protected speech — including satire or microaggressions. One final DEI bill still awaits Senate approval, where Republicans hold the power to override any veto. Governor Stein slammed the move, calling it a betrayal of the people and a dangerous overreach that forces police into federal immigration roles — undermining state priorities and erasing the state’s diversity.
