Trump immigration enforcement focus to expand to new city, mayor indicates

"We have been made aware that Customs and Border Protection are coming to Raleigh," Mayor Janet Cowell said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

"While RPD is not involved in immigration enforcement, we are committed to protecting our residents and to following the law. I can confirm that the Raleigh Police Department has not participated in any immigration planning activities. Above all, Raleigh is a safe city, with crime down year-over-year. Public safety is a priority for me and this City Council," she noted in the statement. 

"I ask Raleigh to remember our values and maintain peace and respect through any upcoming challenges," she later added.

"Every day, DHS enforces the laws of the nation across the country. We do not discuss future or potential operations," McLaughlin said.
