Siembra NC

Volunteer Join Siembra in the fight against ICE, abusive employers and landlords, discrimination and criminalization of the Latinx community in North Carolina.

YOU can help us build the platform that this state can believe in: Become a leader on the Enough Should Be Enough Listening Tour! siembranc.org/volunteer

We need leaders who will listen to people instead of corporations, who defend families and workers instead of rogue violent federal agents, and who care more about giving North Carolinians healthcare than giving billionaires tax cuts.

Thousands of Mecklenburg, Edgecombe, Martin and Bertie voters handed decisive victories to Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler – who just a few weeks ago won the endorsement of Siembra NC members – Veleria Levy, and Patricia Smith, candidates who promised to be leaders who deliver, not just promise.

They thought they could ignore their constituents, probably in return for favors from NC GOP leaders and the billionaires behind the scenes.

These three were the deciding "Yes" votes that allowed the GOP to implement policies that directly attacked our immigrant neighbors last October and that gutted our state’s carbon reduction goals, prioritizing Duke Energy’s profits over the air we breathe and the climate our children will inherit.

Nasif Majeed, Shelly Willingham, and Carla Cunningham all lost their elections tonight after their unforgivable votes to hand the GOP the power to attack our families and our future.

North Carolina sent a clear message tonight: You cannot betray our community and keep your seat.

To win the safest state for immigrants and the best state to raise a family, we need leaders who will fight for our communities. Join us as we go talk with voters in northwest Mecklenburg County and help elect Rev. Dr. Sadler for NC House 106

Durham City Council Oath of Office Ceremony with Make NC Work On Dec 1st at 7pm, we are showing up to the "Durham City Council Oath of Office Ceremony" and first meeting with the new Durham City Council to make sure our Stand Up for Durham demands stay a priorit...

Our city needs courageous leadership, and we will hold them to that standard.
Will you join us? Wear purple and RSVP at tiny.cc/durham0219. Meet up with us at 12 PM to connect with other members of Make NC Work and Siembra NC. We'd love to see you there!

This is a critical opportunity to remind the council members of the commitments they made at our Townhall last October, especially given the cruelty we witnessed last November in North Carolina from federal agents, which is likely to be an ongoing threat and continue in coming months.

Join us this Thursday, February 19th as we hold Durham City Council to their word. We’re attending the Durham City Council Work Session at 1 PM to make sure our Stand Up! for Durham demands stay a priority.

Early voting has started, and the primary is now just a few weeks away! Mark your calendars and cast your early ballots before the end of February. Primary Election Day is March 3rd.

Rev. Dr. Sadler opposes handing over our tax dollars to ICE, opposes CBP agents terrorizing our cities and attended multiple trainings to help everyone in the Queen City get to school and work safely during CBP’s operation in November.

Siembra NC and @makencwork.bsky.social are proud to endorse Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler (@rodneysadler.com) for NC House District 106. It is leadership like Rev. Dr. Sadler’s that will make it possible for North Carolina to become the best place to live, work, and raise our families.

If your loved one has been detained, call the Siembra NC Hotline at (336) 543-0353

But the decision we can all make is to do everything we can to ensure that our communities are places where we can all live freely, raise families, and build a life for ourselves as part of a community of care. That’s a decision we’ll make every day.

Samir and Tural are not the first people to make the decision to leave the country after experiencing detention. We know that this is not a decision made voluntarily, despite what any official tries to claim.

🪴As always, we will continue to share updates on our social media channels, and you can always call our hotline at (336) 543-0353 to connect with our team.

🚨Remember that each case is different, and you should always consult with your attorney first.

🚨Remember that each case is different, and you should always consult with your attorney first.

💼 Depending on the case, you may be able to ask your attorney if it is possible to file a habeas corpus petition.

We have confirmed several detentions at these offices in recent months, and several immigration attorneys with whom we work have also alerted us to an increased risk of detention, especially for people who entered the country without authorization.

☎️ Report from the Hotline on Check-Ins with ICE and CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) in North Carolina, especially in the cities of Charlotte and Durham.

ISAIAH @isaiahmn.org is calling for us to light a candle

Share your message of solidarity with the people of Minnesota.
Step outside, light a candle. Tonight at 8 PM.
For our communities and for Alex Pretti.

Repeated illegal entry of ICE agents into homes and workplaces in Minnesota makes clear it is up to local governments, employers, houses of worship, and all of us, acting together, to defend our rights under the Constitution.

You can still see the training on their website at www.fletc.gov/ice-administ...

An administrative warrant, or an I-205, is a piece of paper filled out by an ICE officer authorizing themselves to conduct an arrest. In ICE’s own training this year, ICE instructors say “a removal warrant does not authorize the ICE officer to enter into an REP area to execute the warrant.”

...the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose."

It reads in part, "Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence...

Apparently, it must be stated: our homes are 4th Amendment Homes.

A new CBS News report shows in May 2025 ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons secretly authored a memo to ICE agents authorizing them to enter homes without a judicial warrant.
