CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Over 130 people suspected of being in the US illegally have been detained in Charlotte, North Carolina, authorities said on Nov 17, as President Donald Trump’s nationwide mass deportation campaign ramped up in the South.
Mr Rob Brisley, a spokesperson for US Customs and Border Protection, said that Border Patrol agents had arrested over 130 people on Nov 15 and Nov 16 in Charlotte during the first two days of the federal operation targeting undocumented migrants.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, a Democrat, said that the constitutional rights and protections of every person in Charlotte, regardless of their immigration status, must be upheld, and said that city officials were working to support the impacted people and communities “while working within complicated legal boundaries”.
