Did you see? Republican North Carolina state Rep. Brenden Jones, the House Deputy Majority Leader, blocked me today after this tweet detailing what he said in a floor speech in support of #HB370.
Not cool, Brenden. 
Also not cool: #HB370, which the NC legislature has now passed. It takes effort to subvert the US Constitution and local elections in one bill, but GOP lawmakers have done so with this bill requiring local officials to adhere to ICE detainer requests, which are not warrants.
BREAKING: #NCGA has approved #HB370, the anti-immigrant bill that forces sheriffs to do ICE's bidding or face removal from office.

Reporter covering North Carolina's #HB370 — which looks like it's coming up for a vote today — found a way not to mention the Fourth Amendment until the seventh paragraph of a story whose headline ignores the existence of significant constitutional questions. Not good!
NC Gov. @RoyCooperNC has said the bill is unconstitutional. How do you write a story about this fed'l power grab that would be forced on local sheriffs by state gov't (essentially an unfunded mandate, due to the likely lawsuits that would result) w/out highlighting that reality?
Here we go. NC #HB370 is coming to a vote today:
An important development in North Carolina to be watching this week and next —>
