Immigration officials picked up two Carrboro residents and at least four others in Orange County this week. Carrboro Mayor Lydia Lavelle issued a statement Thursday morning confirming the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and reassuring residents the Carrboro Police Department was not involved. "As our Police Chief Walter Horton stated last year," she said, " 'Immigration status has never been a concern or priority to the Carrboro Police Department. We are here to serve all community members.'."
