A North Carolina bill forcing sheriffs and jailers to comply with requests from federal immigration agents to detain inmates accused of serious crimes for up to 48 hours will be sent to a team of negotiators to discuss changes to the legislation. The state House voted not to approve amendments made by the bill when it went through the Senate.
Opponents of a measure debated by the North Carolina General Assembly that would force local sheriffs to comply with requests by federal agents interested in picking up jail inmates believed to be in the country illegally hold placards against the bill during a rally on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, outside the old Capitol Building in Raleigh, N.C. RALEIGH, N.C.
The North Carolina House of Representatives voted Wednesday not to accept state Senate amendments made to the bill, which will now send the legislation to a team of lawmakers to negotiate. The conference committee will take on mostly language alterations, but Rep. Destin Hall, a primary Republican sponsor and member of the committee, told reporters after the vote that the main content of the bill is not expected to change.
House Speaker Tim Moore said before the floor vote that he expected the House to vote on the bill with finished changes next week. Despite celebrating the pause, El Pueblo, a Hispanic advocacy group that lobbied against the bill, said in a statement Wednesday that the legislation was “still a real threat to becoming law” and could harm immigrant communities in the state. The bill’s supporters have said it will prevent potentially dangerous criminals from being prematurely released., sheriffs or jailers in all 100 counties are required to comply with U.S.
