Border Patrol Operation in Charlotte Leaves Lasting Impact on Immigrant Community
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a recent Border Patrol operation has left significant impacts on the local immigrant community. The operation, which took place in mid-November, involved hundreds of Border Patrol officers and resulted in the arrest of approximately 400 individuals over a week-long period. The enforcement action has caused widespread fear and disruption among the city's immigrant population, many of whom are now hesitant to leave their homes. The operation has also affected local businesses, particularly those owned by immigrants, as many have seen a decline in customers due to the heightened fear of raids. Community leaders and organizations have been working to support affected families by providing food, medical care, and other essential services.
