- 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.
