SUMMARY: A rare winter storm brought significant snowfall to North Carolina beaches on January 21, 2025, covering much of the 301-mile coastline. Snow accumulation was particularly notable, with the National Weather Service reporting up to 8 inches in the Outer Banks and around 5-6 inches in Wilmington. Areas like Hatteras Island received about an inch, while Morehead City measured 5.8 inches. This unusual weather pattern saw heavier snow near the ocean and lesser amounts inland, causing dangerous travel conditions. Nationally, over 2,300 flights were canceled, and snowplows were deployed in Florida, marking the first significant snowfall in New Orleans in over a decade.

SUMMARY: In response to a new executive order from the Trump Administration aiming to ban Birthright citizenship, North Carolina has initiated a lawsuit. Attorney General Jeff Jackson argues the order violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Trump’s order seeks to restrict this by denying citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporarily visa-holding parents. Jackson insists this reinterpretation lacks constitutional backing. This legal challenge is part of a broader effort to toughen immigration policies, reflecting ongoing political divides, with 18 Democratic states joining the lawsuit to oppose the executive order.

North Carolina is joining the list of states suing the Trump administration over an executive order targeting birthright citizenship. State Attorney General Jeff Jackson sued over President Trump’s executive order that would stop children of undocumented immigrants– and even some legal immigrants–from receiving citizenship just because they are born in the U.S. WRAL State Government Reporter Will Doran explains what this executive order would change and the lawsuit to stop it.
