(The Center Square) – Faith-based institutions, schools and hospitals have been proposed as sanctuaries statewide in North Carolina in response to the increased arrests, detainers and warrants served since Jan. 20 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The bill is in the state House of Representatives. A day after its first reading, it moved to the Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations of the House where it likely will rest in peace away from the full Republican majority chamber.
