Cooper vetoes immigration bill in North Carolina
Gov Roy Cooper vetoed a Republican bill that would force sheriffs to honor ICE detainer requests to hold inmates believed illegal immigrants. He called the measure unconstitutional and politically motivated, noting current law already allows jail and prosecution of dangerous criminals regardless of immigration status. The veto followed final legislative approval by GOP lawmakers and comes as several Democratic sheriffs resist cooperation with ICE.
