Was An NC Sanctuary Leader Kidnapped By ICE Agents?

Protestors surround a car
Alerta Migratoria NC

A man who was seeking sanctuary in a church in Durham was by  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a routine immigration appointment last week. Samuel Oliver-Bruno arrived at the office in Morrisville, North Carolina when plainclothes ICE agents got to him. 

Advocates allege that USCIS and ICE coordinated to lure Oliver-Bruno out of sanctuary. They are calling what happened to him a “kidnapping.” Senior Immigration Reporter has spent time with Oliver-Bruno and on his position as a sanctuary leader in North Carolina. Vasquez talks to host Frank Stasio about the leader’s personal life and about his role in the state’s sanctuary movement.

Amanda Magnus is the executive producer of Embodied, a weekly radio show and podcast about sex, relationships and health. She has also worked on other app shows including Tested and CREEP.
Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's app Director.
