As immigration enforcement activity increases across our state, now expanding to Raleigh and Durham, we are continuing our series to uplift reliable information, legal assistance, and trustworthy alerts.
As these federal efforts attempt to dehumanize and threaten the safety of our communities, it is important that we remain informed and united in standing strong with our neighbors. By uplifting these resources and information, we hope to help North Carolinians and families stay safe amid these times.
