Sgt. Maurice Devalle was listed as on duty in the North Carolina State Highway Patrol’s dispatch system when a captain knocked on his front door one evening in late 2016. Devalle came to the door in a T-shirt and shorts, rather than the patrol’s black and silver uniform. Was Devalle on duty or not, the captain wondered. Devalle hadn’t reported to his assigned duty station in Goldsboro that day, nor had he secured permission to work from his home in Wake County.

No North Carolina law enforcement official has cheered President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda as much as Rockingham County’s cowboy hat-wearing sheriff, Sam Page. Behind closed doors, on social media, and in front of news cameras, he has helped to popularize a once-taboo but now ascendant conception of migrants as nearly synonymous with criminals, even terrorists.
