CARRBORO, NC – The Carrboro Town Council passed a resolution on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, that reaffirms the town’s support of immigrant communities and Carrboro’s status as a 4th Amendment Town, urging business, schools, and governments to adopt similar policies.
The resolution follows current events in North Carolina when US Customs and Border Protection agents launched numerous operations to detain, arrest and harass immigrant communities, resulting in arrests of undocumented and US citizen residents, as well as heightened fear and distrust in law enforcement. The Town Council condemned all discriminatory actions.
Carrboro has a long history of supporting immigrant communities and creating a welcoming town to all, no matter their place of origin. The resolution cites actions of the Town of Carrboro that support immigrant communities, including the adoption of a Language Access Plan, the Racial Equity Action Plan, and the Carrboro Comprehensive Plan.
On May 20, 2025, the Town Council voted unanimously to designate the Town of Carrboro as a 4th Amendment City, reinforcing the town's commitment to honor and uphold the 4th amendment rights of all residents.
