Republican lawmakers in the North Carolina House voted to override Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of an immigration bill requiring sheriffs to cooperate with federal authorities when arresting illegal immigrants. “The HB 10 veto override passed 72-44 in the House,” ABC 11 reports. The legislation advances to the North Carolina Senate for consideration. HB 10 also expands the school voucher program. The bill passed mostly along party lines, with Democratic Rep. Carla Cunningham joining Republicans. “We must adopt a common sense approach to public safety, ensuring that federal and local agencies work together to safeguard our communities,” Cunningham said, according to Blue Ridge Public Radio.

Sheriffs — once a court order has been issued – would be mandated to keep those undocumented people in custody until federal agents from ICE can step in. It’s a law that advocates say will devastate North Carolina’s immigrant communities. A vigil was held outside the state legislature to protest HB10. “We saw it in the past. We saw it here, ICE coming to take people from our community with really not the right way to do it. So, yeah, we are very concerned about that,” Pilar Rocha-Goldberg, CEO of El Centro Hispano, said. The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association however supports the latest version of HB10, saying: “The Association appreciates the legislature for its willingness not to impose onerous recordkeeping requirements on our state’s 100 sheriffs; and not to interject the Attorney General into these judicial matters.” NC House votes 72-44 to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of HB10. Now goes to Senate. Once overridden, it would become law requiring sheriffs to cooperate w/ ICE & provides $463 million for private school voucher expansion. #nced #ncpol #ncga — Keung Hui (@nckhui) November 19, 2024 NC House voted 72-44 to override Gov.

Abe Jones, of Wake County, spoke against the bill. “Are we going to send the sheriffs any extra money to enforce these ICE laws for the federal government, or are we trying to be good guys?” Jones asked. Some immigrant advocates worry the bill will aid President-elect Trump’s promise for mass deportations. The North Carolina Senate is scheduled to vote on HB10 Wednesday. It also includes around $6.5 billion in state funding for private school vouchers over the next decade. WATCH:

The stepdad of murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley read one of her final journal entries in court after her illegal immigrant killer was convicted on Wednesday. Venezuelan Jose Ibarra, 26, was found guilty on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape Riley. Riley, who was attending Augusta University, was killed by Ibarra while she was running near the campus of the University of Georgia on February 22, 2024. Riley’s murder sparked outrage across the country over the Biden administration’s border policies, and during the trial, it was revealed that Ibarra, who has ties to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, was flown to Georgia at the taxpayers’ expense. Shortly after the guilty verdict and before Ibarra’s sentencing, Riley’s stepdad read a journal entry the 22-year-old nursing had written on December 17, 2023, just two months before she was murdered. Riley began the entry, “To my future husband, as silly as I feel writing this, my old small group leader once recommended it, and so here I am. To my future husband, I want you to know that I am thinking about you and working every day to become the best wife I can be and working through my current relationships to best prepare me for ours and our kids one day. I’m focusing on God and what he defines as a faithful Christian wife, and so that I can best embody those characteristics.” “I pray that you know it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship has been handcrafted by him,” Riley added. “I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord and prioritize him in every aspect of our lives and raise our future family to be God-fearing Christians as well. And pray God is the center of our relationship as it is a gift from him. I thank him for you before I even know you and can’t wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship,” the journal entry continued. “No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and love for one another overrules the obstacle. May our relationship last forever. Your future wife, Laken.” Laken Riley’s stepdad just read one of Laken’s final journal entries, where she prays for her future husband & family. This is the heartbreaking reality of an open border, and it’s precisely why Donald Trump was elected — to ensure this never happens to an American family again. pic.twitter.com/AYtggWHaZc — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) November 20, 2024

Washington Post opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin warned Democrats that if they wanted to get through to voters, they would have to deliver their message in a way that would resonate. “You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts and you have to be pithy,” she said on a recent episode of her podcast, Jen Rubin’s Green Room. She then offered an example of what she meant by “pithy” when she added, “Republicans want to kill your kids. It’s actually true.” WATCH: WaPo Opinion columnist Jen Rubin on how Democrats should be messaging to people who don’t follow politics: “You have to be pithy, what do I mean by pithy? How about this, Republicans want to kill your kids.

Oh, you have a chip manufacturing plant because a Democratic president put that into effect and a Democratic governor went out and solicited bids. And now you have X number of thousands of jobs. It’s that simple.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Rubin went on to say that the way they communicated was important as well, arguing that it couldn’t just be true, it also had to resonate. “You can’t talk broad themes. You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts and you have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids. It’s actually true,” she claimed. “If you’re going to oppose vaccinations, if you’re going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you’re going to allow minors and all sorts of people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they use to shoot up schools, well then you are responsible for kids’ health and death, unfortunately. It has to be that simple and that direct, and it has to be over and over and over again.” A number of social media users on X were not impressed with Rubin’s take and said so. “The Washington Post should be dismissed as a legitimate or serious publication for willfully platforming this deranged individual for the last decade,” The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway said.
