North Carolina city finds way in ‘4th Amendment Workplace’ to shield migrants from ICE crackdown

Durham City Council has unanimously passed a resolution making the city a Fourth Amendment Workplace, aiming to protect city employees from ICE raids and arrests. The resolution directs city staff to uphold Fourth Amendment protections, requiring probable cause for searches and arrests, and calls for training to ensure compliance citywide. The move comes amid heightened concerns over immigration enforcement, following ICE visits to the courthouse and past federal actions that alarmed local residents.
