Statement “North Carolina moms are disappointed, saddened, frightened, and absolutely outraged that our State Senate passed H.B. 10 this morning. This bill, which would force local sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and, in doing so, support the deportation pipeline, is bad for our families, our communities, our state, and our economy. The harm it would cause is immense.

It is foundational to a civilized, compassionate society and has served our country well. An adverse ruling in this case would change that, allowing or requiring hospitals to turn away people in urgent need of care.
