Terror in The Triangle Extended

This is part of a text that I received late Tuesday night from the 8 year old daughter of one of my former cooks.

"My mom said if immigration gets her, to find you. She says she's scared because drones are (over) our building and they are looking for people."

No child should ever have to send such a message. I told her that of course I would take care of her, and I cried a little.

I'm proud of the people of North Carolina for the way that they have responded to the awful things that have happened here this week. They have delivered groceries and picked up prescriptions for friends afraid to leave their homes. Teachers have escorted their students to and from school. People have stood guard in school yards.


Hundreds of people have signed up for ICE Watch. Restaurants have closed, switched to take out or struggled with half-staffed kitchens. They put signs in their windows explaining that it was "for the safety of our staff members ". Thousands of people have marched in protest in Charlotte, Asheville, Raleigh and Durham. People here are pretty upset. This is the North Carolina that I love.

One more thing- a note to ICE and the Border Patrol. "I was just following orders" was not accepted as a defense at Nuremberg.

A caravan of marked and unmarked Border Patrol vehicles left North Carolina yesterday, November 20th*** But even as they passed the South Carolina state line,CBP said, "we aren't actually leaving."

They mean to intimidate us.

We should recognize that these agents, whose lawlessness has been
condemned by federal judges in Illinois, could return at any time.

But we're not going to let their threats go unanswered.

We choose to build on what we accomplished this week.
Thousands of people working to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands.

Constantly asking, "What more can I do to make it possible for everyone in my community to be able to live with dignity and without fear?"

Our elected leaders must commit to taking concrete steps toward making that possible for everyone in our community, including immigrants.

To demand that our cities return to what they ought to be:
Communities where people support each other in living with dignity and Without fear.

This morning elected officials joined members in their community to affirm what we know to be true about how we can create real safety.

Elected officials, faith leaders, and business leaders, sign the pledge.

Join leaders across our state like @manolobetancur @rodney.sadler.9 @jordanlopez_ @aishaodew @jd4clt and the dozens of elected officials across our state that have already committed to ensuring that everyone who calls our state home can freely live with dignity and without fear.
