“ In a unanimous vote Tuesday, Durham City Council passed a resolution to make the North Carolina city a “Fourth Amendment Workplace,” increasing protections for city workers against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and arrests.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against arbitrary searches and arrests and serves as the basis of search warrants with a probable cause of crime. ”

The view looking north on the Durham Heritage Coast at Seaham in North East England. The poet Lord Byron visited here in 1815 when he married Anne Isabella Milbanke at nearby Seaham Hall. Lord Byron and Ann had a child who they named Augusta. She would later become Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, acknowledged as a brilliant mathematician and writer. She is chiefly known as an early pioneer of computing, working on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the 'Analytical Engine'.
