Federal agents launch immigration crackdown in city of Charlotte
Federal agents launch immigration crackdown in Charlotte, North Carolina, targeting illegal immigrants in "Operation Charlotte's Web." Nearly 100 arrests were made by federal immigration authorities, causing concern among local officials like Mayor Vi Lyles. This initiative is part of President Donald Trump's promise to implement the "largest deportation programme" in US history, as troops are deployed to various cities to enforce immigration laws.
