North Carolina has experienced substantial growth in its immigrant population and has become an increasingly active area for immigration enforcement. The state falls under the ICE Atlanta Field Office jurisdiction and has multiple facilities holding ICE detainees.
Several county jails in North Carolina participate in the 287(g) program, which allows local law enforcement to perform certain immigration enforcement functions. This has led to increased detention of immigrants throughout the state.
Federal habeas corpus petitions for individuals detained in North Carolina are filed in the state's federal district courts, where judges have adjudicated cases involving prolonged detention and bond hearing rights.
