The app for independent voices

Dear Mark, thanks for this. I wonder if there is a way to get anecdotes of North Carolinians or Chathamites who have been detained or deported by ICE, or those who have self-deported out of fear, and the loss that is to the community and to their families. Only about a third of detainees and deported nationally have criminal records or charges. The rest have misdemeanors such as overstaying a visa (often due to employment) or being a dreamer (they came as children) or asylum applicants with a well-founded fear of persecution in their home countries. These stories need to be told. I don't think ICE won many converts in NC with their "shock and awe" in November. Even Tillis says they are sloppy, violating rights.
