The Governor’s message was rooted in a stark disparity: while the federal government has committed roughly $7 billion to North Carolina since the 2024 storm, that figure represents only 12% of the estimated $60 billion in total damages. By contrast, Stein noted that major disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy saw federal coverage closer to 70%.
Organizaciones defensoras de inmigrantes y expertos legales advierten que esta postura choca con las protecciones de la Cuarta Enmienda de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, que protege contra registros e incautaciones irrazonables.
Stevens has practiced law for over 30 years and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2009– she’s currently serving on the House Election Law Committee. Her political and legal experience makes it all the more troubling that she could make such a mistake as she pursues a seat on the state’s highest court.
“Duke Energy’s proposed rate hike is simply too high and comes as the company is also retreating on more affordable clean energy. At a time when families are struggling to make ends meet, we should be doing everything we can to make life more affordable, not less. I will continue to fight on behalf of every North Carolinian to lower costs and grow the economy,” said Stein.
Ahead of the 2026 primaries, North Carolina Republicans are running their usual playbook: disenfranchising and suppressing Black voters. However, this time around, are not only facing gerrymandered maps, but new changes involving voting sites and days.
At “Cars and Coffee” events in Charlotte and Greensboro, the conversation has shifted from performance specs to the “tariff tax.”
En medio de una intensificación de los operativos federales de inmigración bajo la administración, ha surgido una preocupación: ciudadanos estadounidenses y residentes legales, en su mayoría latinos, están siendo detenidos, interrogados y en algunos casos arrestados por agentes migratorios, pese a tener plena documentación que acredita su estatus. Reportes recientes en el área de Chicago ofrecen un retrato inquietante de cómo estas redadas han traspasado los límites del control migratorio tradicional.
Tras el inicio de un operativo de la Patrulla Fronteriza en Charlotte, muchos trabajadores de la construcción dejaron de asistir a sus empleos por temor a ser detenidos y deportados. Un plomero que ha vivido en Estados Unidos durante 25 años decidió no salir de su casa por semanas. “Tenemos que escondernos como criminales, aunque no lo somos”, dijo.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ha programado vuelos chárter diarios entre Charlotte (CLT) y Jacksonville (JAX), además del despliegue de al menos cincuenta agentes en el área de Raleigh a partir del 1 de diciembre, como parte de una operación que se extenderá por un mes.
With the end of 2025 coming in a few weeks, North Carolina will enter into the new year without a comprehensive state budget and without a ruling on the state’s landmark school funding case.
Over a year after Helene, many communities are still waiting for meaningful relief. At the center of that failure is Michael Whatley, a man who claimed influence, access, and authority but has delivered little and shown up even less.
Jackson’s office warned that losing the funding would force schools to shut down programs and could lead to layoffs in the middle of the school year. “Our kids deserve better,” Jackson said in a statement. “A surprise cut of nearly $50 million from rural schools, with virtually no notice and no allegation of misuse, is unlawful and harmful.”
As of January 1st, enhanced tax credits, a resource that provided financial assistance to individuals by lowering premiums for healthcare coverage in the Affordable Care Act marketplace, have expired. The consequences of this are that many North Carolinians will see their premiums spike significantly this year, lose coverage, or remain uninsured.
It’s official, North Carolina is the last state in the nation without a state budget, and Governor Josh Stein says he’s still at the table waiting for lawmakers to pass one. “I am here at the table. Whenever the legislature is ready to join me at the table and get to work. I’m ready to welcome them,” Stein said in an interview with the Raleigh News & Observer.
