US EditionFederal officials confirm immigration enforcement operations are underway in Charlotte, North Carolina
Federal agents began detaining and arresting individuals, including some without criminal records, sparking local protests and concerns about fear and community impact.
- On Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents began immigration enforcement operations in Charlotte, North Carolina, with arrests reported across multiple locations, federal officials confirmed.
- The administration said the deployments were intended to protect Americans and remove public-safety threats, while the federal government had not publicly announced the push, prompting local complaints.
- Local reporters and viewers captured masked agents arresting a man at 4750 South Blvd and detaining people across South Boulevard and Central Avenue, while Paola Garcia said, `Basically what we're seeing is that there have been lots of people being pulled over.`
- Local leaders responded by saying Vi Lyles, Charlotte Mayor, Mark Jerrell, Mecklenburg County Commission Chair, and Stephanie Sneed, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education Chair, urge peaceful expression amid fear, while Gov. Josh Stein, North Carolina governor, noted most detainees lack convictions and urged reporting inappropriate behavior.
- As context, Charlotte counts more than 900,000 residents including over 150,000 foreign-born, while recent operations in Chicago and Portland faced judicial orders and legal scrutiny for warrantless detentions.
