This week NC Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a public safety bill which would have required NC sheriffs to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The bill protected the safety of NC residents. Shame on Cooper.
The bill would have required local sheriffs to contact ICE when an arrest was made of a violent and dangerous person whose citizenship could not be verified. This includes those arrested for rape, murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, domestic violence, armed robbery, sex trafficking, drug smuggling and other serious crimes. Holy Crap! How can any public official be against that?
Does law enforcement in NC fail to cooperate with the IRS, the FBI, The Dept. of Homeland Security, the DEA, FEMA, or the FDA?? Why not cooperate with ICE??? I guess it is political. Cooper says the sheriffs will have “trouble recruiting Hispanic deputies.” Cooper also says the bill will single out Hispanics. Hmmm? He says Hispanics will be reluctant to report crimes. I believe there will be a decrease in crimes to report for all people. These are violent criminals that may be in the US illegally.
If I were governor, I would place public safety above all else. I would ask for help from the Federal Government on all matters especially public safety.
Cooper is being “handled” by the political extremists which are in the minority. Cooper must be voted out of office.
