Charlotte, North Carolina, became the latest focal point of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement strategy as federal agents arrested 81 individuals in a swift five-hour operation over the weekend. The crackdown, dubbed ‘Operation Charlotte’s Web’ by US Customs and Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, targeted individuals with ‘significant criminal and immigration history,’ according to Bovino’s social media post. The operation’s name, inspired by a popular children’s book, has done little to quell public outrage. Protesters took to the streets on Saturday, condemning the Trump administration’s aggressive tactics, which included masked, heavily armed agents in unmarked vehicles. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein, a Democrat, sharply criticized the operation, accusing agents of racial profiling and endangering citizens. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also reported an incident where a US citizen allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle, injuring an officer. While DHS has not specified the duration of the raids, the ongoing crackdown in Chicago, which began in September, suggests a prolonged enforcement effort. Bovino hinted at further actions, leaving Charlotte residents anxious about what lies ahead.
