Governor Josh Stein Vetoes Key Immigration and Gun Bills in North Carolina
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has made headlines by vetoing several controversial bills related to immigration and gun control. These include a bill that sought to eliminate the concealed carry permit mandate and two immigration enforcement bills that aimed to enhance cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. The decision comes amid mounting pressure from protesters and Latino elected officials who condemned the immigration bills, urging Stein to stand firm against what they label as xenophobic policies. With time running out for legislative action, these vetoes mark a significant moment as North Carolina navigates its approach to immigration and gun rights.
