1:44 A Republican state senator from Western North Carolina is proposing a measure that would force local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration agents. Hendersonville Republican Chuck Edwards unveiled Senate Bill 101 last week -- he calls it “Require Cooperation With ICE 2.0.” It’s essentially a revamped version of a similar house proposal that Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed in 2019. Edwards says this time is different.
"By and large, the folks in my district and in North Carolina insist that we’re a land of laws and a sheriff can’t go out and decide which laws they’re going to enforce and which laws that they’re not," Edwards said.
