Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Federal Raids in Charlotte Spark Controversy Over Immigration Enforcement
Caption: Federal Raids in Charlotte Spark Controversy Over Immigration Enforcement. Federal agents arrested at least 81 people in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the weekend, marking a major increase in the Trump administration's deportation efforts. The arrests happened in roughly five hours on Saturday, according to Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official with previous experience in Los Angeles and Chicago. Many of those detained had significant criminal or immigration histories. Mass deportations have been a core part of Trump's domestic agenda, targeting both Democratic-led cities and conservative areas. These raids have sparked large protests, with critics accusing federal agents of detaining law-abiding citizens. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein condemned the operation, saying while dangerous individuals should be deported, many actions—such as targeting people in parking lots, churches, and stores—have spread fear and divided communities. Homeland Security defended the raids, citing local officials' refusal to comply with nearly 1,400 detainer requests to temporarily hold suspects.
