Thread: NC City Becomes a ‘Fourth Amendment Workplace’ amid ICE Crackdown

NC City Becomes a ‘Fourth Amendment Workplace’ amid ICE Crackdown



by Amy Furr 6 Sep 2025

The city of Durham, North Carolina, is pushing back against the work of President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Durham City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution to make the city a “Fourth Amendment Workplace,” the Chronicle reported Wednesday.

The article continued:

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against arbitrary searches and arrests and serves as the basis of search warrants with a probable cause of crime. The resolution directs city staff to “uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments.”

The resolution says the city has “historically pursued equity and safety for all residents” and the trust of Durhamites is essential to the city carrying out its operations. It says the threat of “unconstitutional seizure” has prevented immigrants in Durham from “safely engaging in public life, including pursuing employment and education.”

The Chronicle referred to an incident that happened in July when ICE agents detained an illegal alien charged with a felony at the Durham County Courthouse, which alerted citizens and officials to the fact that ICE agents were there.

The report also said a group called Siembra NC supported the resolution. In a social media post on Thursday, that organization said, “The City of Durham joins Carrboro and the over 200 businesses across the state that have become 4th Amendment Workplaces!”
The group said the vote was against so-called “federal overreach.”

The news comes as President Donald Trump has been cracking down on illegal immigration after former President Joe Biden’s (D) open border policies wreaked havoc in communities across the nation.

In June, an identity theft investigation led ICE to perform a workplace raid at a fire equipment factory in North Carolina, which yielded 30 arrests, per Breitbart News.

The following month, the outlet reported ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes, most against children, across the country. The article said, “Indeed, over the weekend, ICE agents arrested 45-year-old illegal alien Porfirio Bernal-Fregoso of Mexico in Durham County, North Carolina. Bernal-Fregoso has been convicted of attempted rape of a child and indecent liberties with a child.”

Breitbart News’s John Binder highlighted another aspect of mass immigration in December 2024:

Tens of millions of native-born Americans are out of the labor market as foreign-born workers account for all net job growth over the last year, new analysis details.

The analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) tracks the decline in labor force participation among native-born Americans from 1960 to 2024 — an alarming trend that has coincided with skyrocketing immigration levels.

In a social media post on August 14, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said, “In less than 200 days, 1.6 MILLION illegal immigrants have left the United States population.”

In less than 200 days, 1.6 MILLION illegal immigrants have left the United States population. This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services and better job opportunities for Americans.

Thank you @POTUS Trump!

We need our Republican lawmakers on the North Carolina and Federal level to apply our existing laws to prevent Durham from illegally aiding and abetting illegal alien invader criminals!

WARNING: Very graphic video in source links. Viewer discretion advised. Take political action steps at the end of this message.

Illegal aliens, criminal American gangs, Democrats, and their liberal Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, are all vowing to fight against President Trump, against our laws, and against our brave men and women in law enforcement/ICE who are taking on the task of law enforcement in America's murder capital, Chicago!

IL Democrat Governor JB Pritzker just called illegals "Neighbors and Friends" while calling law enforcement and ICE agents "invaders!" (View & Share SOURCE HERE)

The Democrat Party has become the party of invasion, crime, and loss and LAW AND ORDER will be a top issue in the 2026 campaigns as Democrat run sanctuary cities like Durham (Recently declaring sanctuary status in violation of new NC Laws) and Charlotte, NC, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, DC, and others keep ending up in the news due to violent crime fueled by their policies, young black males who commit over half of 20,000 murders in America each year, and illegal alien invaders.

The uncensored, heartbreaking, hard-to-watch, viewer-discretion-advised video of the preventable murder of LEGAL IMMIGRANT Iryna Zarutska in sanctuary city Charlotte is going viral today. (VIEW, SHARE, & COMMENT HERE)

It cannot be unseen, and America will be changed forevermore in the opposite direction our country went in reaction to the fentanyl overdose death of George Floyd and the BLM riots.
