Protesters march in downtown Raleigh to rally against Trump immigration crackdown
At least 2,000 people marched through downtown Raleigh Wednesday evening to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies and the ICE raids sparking unrest in Los Angeles. Waving both American and Mexican flags, speaking both Spanish and English, the protesters chanted for 10 uninterrupted minutes in Moore Square, saying, 'No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!' They carried signs that said 'Immigrants make America great' and 'They want our money, they want our labor, but they don't want us.' 'Trump is using his power to show his might for no good reason,' said Becky McElroy, a frequent protester downtown. 'He's shown that he's willing to do anything to ram over everybody — his own citizens now.' The Raleigh demonstration was the second this week to show solidarity with protesters in Los Angeles. Monday, about 100 people gathered in Raleigh to call for the release of labor leader David Huerta, who had been arrested for allegedly interfering with federal officers. Wednesday night in Raleigh, Victor Uruija spoke to the crowd through a bullhorn and said he was with the Party for Socialism and Liberation. He described himself as a proud immigrant from Michoacan in Mexico and called for unity in resisting the false label of immigrants as 'invaders.' 'It is ICE who goes into our communities and takes children away from their parents,' Uruija said. 'That's an invader. That's a terrorist.' At 7 p.m., the group marched out of Moore Square into Hargett Street as horns honked from passing cars. The crowd filled the street, forming a moving line opposition two blocks long. A snare drum banged a cadence while they chanted, 'Abolish ICE.' As the crowd passed the bus station, a rider flashed a peace sign. As the group passed Marbles Kids Museum, a mother with children in her back seat screamed 'Idiots!' Five Raleigh police officers followed on motorized bicycles. Outside the Capitol, the protesters paused to decry Senate Bill 153, which would require four state law enforcement agencies to cooperate with ICE agents and restrict state benefits for unauthorized immigrants. The Republican-led North Carolina Senate passed the bill Tuesday along party lines along with another immigration bill, House Bill 318, sending both to Democratic Gov. Josh Stein. They noted that the governor keeps an office inside the Capitol. Stein hasn't indicated how he will proceed with the bills, The N&O reported. 'What do we want from Gov. Stein?' Nicole Bracluk shouted into a microphone. 'Veto!' Protests started around the country after ICE agents began immigration sweeps across Los Angeles Friday, triggering protests there. Video of those events showed protesters vandalizing buildings and throwing bottles at police, who in turn responded in riot gear, confronting them with tear gas launchers and batons, according to ABC News. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Saturday — a first without consent from a state governor since President Lyndon Johnson's move to protect civil rights activists in Alabama in 1965. Soon after, Trump deployed 700 Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops, triggering a lawsuit from California against the president's administration. A curfew has since been enacted in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Trump spoke at Fort Bragg Tuesday, telling the assembled troops, 'This anarchy will not stand.' In Raleigh on Wednesday night, the rally and march remained peaceful for more than two hours, attracting people as it moved along. As the crowd ended back in Moore Square, the demonstrators mingled and danced until night fall. 'I think it went really well,' said Rosa Valenzuela, pushing a stroller and carrying an American flag while people danced in a circle. 'I'm glad to see the young people. We get a lot of young people because their parents are afraid. ICE. They're representing their parents.' As she spoke, a cheer rose while 'La Puerta Negra' began playing on a portable speaker. Anti-Trump protests will continue this weekend in Raleigh and around the country. 'No Kings' rallies are scheduled to coincide with a military parade in Washington, DC, but they have evolved in purpose as immigration raids ramp up in major cities. Raleigh's 'No Kings' protest is Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 6101 Capital Blvd, between Old Wake Forest Road and Oak Forest Drive.

Permitless concealed carry in North Carolina faces uphill battle after some GOP pushback
RALEIGH, N.C. — A bill to let adults carry concealed handguns without a permit cleared the North Carolina legislature on Wednesday, however the path to joining the majority of U.S. states with similar laws remains uncertain. The GOP-backed legislation faces a likely veto from Democratic Gov. Josh Stein, as well as pushback from a handful of Republicans who voted against the legislation in the state House. House Speaker Destin Hall acknowledged those concerns after Wednesday's vote.

Permitless concealed carry in North Carolina faces uphill battle after some GOP pushback
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A bill to let adults carry concealed handguns without a permit cleared the North Carolina legislature on Wednesday, however the path to joining the majority of U.S. states with similar laws remains uncertain. The GOP-backed legislation faces a likely veto from Democratic Gov. Josh Stein, as well as pushback from a handful of Republicans who voted against the legislation in the state House. House Speaker Destin Hall acknowledged those concerns after Wednesday's vote. 'I would imagine that — math being math — that it's probably a low percentage relative to other bills,' Hall told reporters. If the bill becomes law, North Carolina would become the 30th state in the country to legalize permitless carrying of a concealed handgun, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. North Carolina would also be one of the last states in the Southeast to implement that legislation. The legislation allows for eligible people with valid identification over the age of 18 to carry a concealed handgun. More than half of states with permitless concealed carry set their age limit at 21 and older, while the rest have the legal carrying age at 18, according to the NCSL. Currently, a person must be 21 and older to obtain a concealed handgun permit in North Carolina. To qualify, an applicant must pass a firearms safety training course and not 'suffer from a physical or mental infirmity that prevents the safe handling of a handgun,' according to state law. Approving permitless concealed carry has been a goal of gun-rights activists in North Carolina for years, with House Republicans historically supportive of the idea. Some see it as the next step after Republican lawmakers successfully eliminated the permit system that required sheriffs to conduct character evaluations and criminal history checks for pistol applicants in 2023. Conservative advocates for the bill say it would strengthen Second Amendment rights for North Carolinians. Republican lawmakers also disputed that the bill would make the state more dangerous, as 'law-abiding citizens' would be the only people that would benefit from the permit elimination, not criminals, Republican Rep. Brian Echevarria said. 'Rights to keep and bear arms are constitutionally inseparable,' Echevarria said. 'If a person cannot own a firearm, they cannot bear a firearm.' The bill's passage tees up one of the first opportunities for a likely veto from Stein if he stays aligned with his fellow Democrats in the legislature. Stein has a more powerful veto stamp than his predecessor Roy Cooper, after Republicans lost their House supermajority last year that allowed them to override vetoes and enact their legislative agenda with relative ease. Now, House Republicans would need to count on a Democrat to join in their override efforts. Reaching that goal seems especially daunting, considering all of the present House Democrats — and two Republicans — voted against the bill. The governor's office didn't respond to a request for comment on the legislation, but House Deputy Democratic Leader Cynthia Ball said in a committee Tuesday that Stein was opposed to it. Several Democratic legislators said it would make communities unsafe by loosening who can carry a concealed handgun without training. Democrats also raised issue with the age limit set in the bill, saying it would put guns in the hands of young people who aren't yet mature enough to have one. 'Do you not remember when you were 18? We are prone and so susceptible to peer pressure, we are hotheaded, we are emotional,' Democratic Rep. Tracy Clark said on the House floor after retelling her personal experience of losing two friends in college to gun violence. Those seeking a permit for their concealed handgun — such as for the purpose of traveling with a firearm to a state that requires a permit — would still be able to do so. The bill also heightens the felony punishment for those who assault law enforcement officers or first responders with a firearm. A separate bill that makes gun safety courses available at North Carolina community colleges for people 18 and up passed in a near-unanimous House vote directly after the concealed carry permit repeal legislation was approved. ___ Associated Press writer Gary D.
