1. Anti-ICE Protests Continue in Raleigh
2. Durham Residents Arrested At Moral Monday Protest
3. Raleigh Passes Nearly $2 Billion Budget
4. Connecting Through Dementia at the Nasher
Good morning, readers.
The surge of pro-immigrant, anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests that began in Los Angeles on Friday arrived in Raleigh earlier this week.
The Union of Southern Service Workers rallied about 150 people in Moore Square on Monday, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation has another demonstration planned for this evening in the same spot. Yesterday, activists gathered in front of the state legislature to protest two anti-immigrant bills, SB 153 and HB 318, which target undocumented immigrants, their families, and cities that adopt sanctuary policies.
Unlike in LA—where police and federal agents dressed in camouflage and riot gear quelled protests with tear gas, pepper spray, flash-bang grenades, and non-lethal bullets—Raleigh’s demonstrations have been completely peaceful, with almost no visible law enforcement presence.
Nikki Marín Baena, co-director of Siembra NC, told INDY on Monday that her organization has not heard of ICE workplace raids in the Triangle like the ones that sparked the LA protests. But Siembra, a Hispanic-led immigrants’ rights nonprofit, is preparing for that possibility by running a 24-hour hotline, hosting Know Your Rights workshops, and educating individuals and employers about their Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
