  • E.B. White's granddaughter has publicly condemned the DHS for naming its immigration enforcement operation 'Operation Charlotte's Web,' which has drawn parallels to the beloved children's book. This operation has been criticized for its impact on the community in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it has heightened tensions and fear among residents.
  • The use of the book's title in this context has upset many, including the author's family, who feel it misrepresents the themes of friendship and compassion inherent in the story. They argue that the operation contradicts the book's message.
  • This incident highlights ongoing debates surrounding immigration policies and their societal implications, particularly in North Carolina, where recent border patrol activities have also been criticized for instilling fear rather than ensuring safety, reflecting a broader national discourse on immigration enforcement.
