US Border Patrol arrests over 130 in first 48 hours of Charlotte immigration operation
- During the weekend sweep in Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and ICE arrested more than 130 people within the first 48 hours of Operation Charlotte's Web.
- DHS says it focused on Charlotte because sanctuary policies limit local cooperation, framing the sweep as part of President Donald Trump's mass-deportation campaign after operations in Los Angeles and Chicago.
- Eyewitnesses and videos show masked, uniformed federal agents stopping people, dragging naturalized U.S. citizen Willy Aceituno from his truck, and Latino-run Manolo's Bakery temporarily closing.
- Charlotte and Mecklenburg County elected officials condemned the operations as causing fear, Josh Stein, governor of North Carolina, urged residents to record misconduct, and about 200 agents are expected to be redeployed to New Orleans.
- Looking beyond Charlotte, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who led similar Chicago efforts, signaled 'more to come,' while DHS cites nearly 1,400 detainers across North Carolina as justification.
