The governor of North Carolina has vetoed a bill requiring sheriffs to comply with detainers from federal immigration agents and to identify whether prisoners are illegal immigrants.

House Bill 370 passed the majority-Republican House along party lines on Aug. 20, before it was vetoed the following day by Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper.
