Durham Advocates Urge Duke to Protect Immigrants

Local advocates in Durham, North Carolina, are urging Duke University and other institutions to require federal agents to have a judicial warrant before entering private spaces, following a surge in immigration enforcement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Community leaders are emphasizing the need for local institutions to protect their students, workers, and families from these federal actions, as residents, particularly within immigrant communities, express fear of potential raids and detentions. Duke Health and Duke University have responded, acknowledging the fear and uncertainty, and reaffirming their commitment to the safety and well-being of all community members, regardless of immigration status.
