North Carolina has at least 9 sanctuary jurisdictions protecting illegal aliens in the state. Despite that, ICE arrests in NC hit a decades high under Trump, doubled vs. 2022-2024. This trend of increase is thanks to better administrative decisions, but numbers can be so much higher.

Like every state, increased local cooperation and voter involvement would help this soar. Republicans at a county level showing up however possible to stop sanctuary policies in their area.

Trump: "Before America had a country, we had a culture and creed. It came from a mighty kingdom across the sea. Before the Revolution, this land was settled by men and women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride."

...

"In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea, but the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776; the American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice - on both sides of the Atlantic."

President Trump is essentially the first president and prominent politician after WW2 to acknowledge this for us.

President Trump: β€œFrom English towns and Scottish mountains, out of Welsh villages ... The first Americans saw themselves as free men, carrying forward the ancestral liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo-Saxons into this New World. In the eyes of America’s Founders, our War for Independence was fought not to reject this heritage, but to reclaim it and perfect it.”
