A North Carolina city has approved a measure declaring itself a "Fourth Amendment Workplace" and boosting protections for illegal immigrant workers targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Durham City Council passed the resolution on Tuesday with a unanimous vote to shield city workers against raids and arrests carried out by federal officials, according to The Duke Chronicle.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches and arrests, and requires warrants with probable cause of a crime before seizing a person or property.

The resolution instructs city staff to "uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments," The Chronicle reported.…

Except for voting, courts have ruled that noncitizens (even illegals) have the same constitutional rights as do citizens.

Not all rights.

ATF Form 4473, question 21.l: Are you an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States?

“The people” is as direct and specific as anyone can get given the document under discussion.

Interesting. A NC politician just resigned abruptly from the Department of Transportation after 5 months on the job. His focus was on distributing transportation grants.

The City of Durham and the university there protect criminals. Even the state of North Carolina and their AG protects criminals.

Years ago Crystal Mangum claimed the lacrosse team raped her. The entire team, except for the one black, was vilified. NC Attorney General Roy Cooper, who will be running for senator this year, refused to charge her for lying. She went on to murder one of her boyfriends.

It probably was an oversight.

Our founders couldn’t possibly think of everything.

There’s not a pro-American, constitutionalist, college town of size in the US.

Yep. I suppose that in a lot of cases they were relying on the common sense of future generations. Boy were they wrong about that.

Is the ignorance of these meatheads the fault of our education system?

Everyone, EVERYONE has rights per the Constitution. Rights are not limited to Citizenship

To be in the US is not a RIGHT. It is as PRIVILEGE.

Slavery was a Democrat thing. After the Lincoln Douglas debates in Illinois, the pro-slavery Democrat was chosen to represent Illinois in the US Senate. Illinois Democrats were pro-slavery. Republicans in the south were abolitionists.

Does anyone think that ICE, under Trump and Homan give a damn what some retarded city council “declares”? It’s good to have a good hardy laugh in the morning.

The Durham Home Depot is empty as the Hispanics that frequent the place are afraid to go there.

The Founders wrote the Constitution so that the average farmer of the times could understand it.

It only gets complicated when when lawyers (judges are lawyers) purposely misinterpret it to say something not intended when it was written.

I’m no Constitutional scholar. But the more I think of it, the more I think the Founders were referring to citizens in the Bill of Rights.

The 4A: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects…”

It’s not “people”, as in everyone. It’s “the people”, as in a specific group.

We see the same wording in the 2A.

Unfortunately, I don’t think any court will tackle this now. It would take a certain boldness the courts just don’t have.
