Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, referred to as "Operation Charlotte's Web," have expanded beyond Charlotte, North Carolina, impacting Wake and Durham counties, and neighboring cities. Over 200 arrests have been reported in Charlotte over three days. The raids have created a "chilling effect," with businesses closed and a significant increase in student absences, with over 30,000 students absent on Monday.

Sources indicate the Trump administration's top border official is expected in New Orleans in early December. However, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has stated he has not been contacted by CBP regarding the operation and is unsure when it will conclude. The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution supporting immigrant neighbors, highlighting a lack of coordination with local officials.
