NC House votes to override governor’s veto on immigration, DEI bills
The North Carolina House voted to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of an immigration bill (Senate Bill 153) and several Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) bills. The immigration bill mandates state law enforcement cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, restricts certain public benefits for undocumented immigrants, and prohibits UNC institutions from becoming sanctuary campuses. Gov. Stein criticized the legislature for prioritizing divisive issues over passing a budget.
