Charlotte Immigration Crackdown Detains 130+ In Just 48 Hours Amid Huge Protests

Federal agents have made more than 130 arrests in the first 48 hours of "Operation Charlotte's Web," intensifying the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration in North Carolina’s largest city. Leading the charge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection targeted individuals with criminal records, including gang membership, assault, and illegal re-entry. The operation, part of a broader national enforcement effort in sanctuary cities, has triggered protests and resistance from Charlotte’s elected officials who say it causes fear among residents. North Carolina Governor has urged citizens to report any inappropriate actions by federal agents, while the Department of Homeland Security asserted their commitment to protect Americans and enforce immigration laws strictly.
