• Cary town staff were asked about ICE office locations. Town leaders say they didn't know. (newsobserver.com) — Cary officials quietly fielded questions in 2025 about using a building with a Morrisville mailing address near RDU as a daytime ICE detention site, without briefing town council members. The building ultimately went to a different buyer, but the episode has sparked calls from Cary leaders and immigrant advocates for more transparency and possible rule changes around any future ICE-related facilities in the area.
   

• I-Team investigates growth of NC school voucher program (abc11.com) — North Carolina’s rapidly growing school voucher program is sending more than $173,000 a year to The Accelerator School in Morrisville, a soccer-focused private school. Lawmakers and investigators are questioning whether expanded eligibility is steering too many taxpayer dollars to families and specialty schools that may already afford private education, and whether oversight and auditing are keeping pace with the surge in funding.
