‘Heartbroken’: Charlotte pushes back as Trump targets city in immigration raids

Dozens of arrests were reported in Charlotte, North Carolina, as federal immigration agents intensified enforcement efforts in the city. This crackdown, part of the Trump administration's immigration policy, has drawn significant backlash from local leaders who argue that crime rates in Charlotte are declining. The city, with a population of approximately 950,000, has become a focal point for immigration enforcement despite local opposition.

Federal agents have initiated Operation 'Charlotte's Web' in Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to implement what is described as the largest deportation program in U.S. history. This operation aims to target undocumented immigrants in the city, reflecting ongoing immigration enforcement policies. The crackdown has raised concerns among local communities about the impact on families and the potential for increased fear among immigrant populations.
