Immigration crackdown in Charlotte comes to a close

A federal immigration crackdown centered on North Carolina’s largest city of Charlotte appeared to be over after less than a week as Border Patrol agents now turn their attention toward New Orleans, where the next big operation is expected.
RYAN MURPHY Getty Images A SHERIFF says that North Carolina's "Operation Charlotte's Web" is now over.
Federal officials confirmed with Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection operation known as “Operation Charlotte's Web” was officially over after hundreds of arrests, the sheriff's office said Thursday.
No border agent operations will occur on Thursday, the sheriff's office said. A spokesperson for the Border Patrol agency didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking confirmation of the sheriff's statement.
The operation that began last weekend was the most recent phase of President Trump's aggressive mass deportation efforts that have sent the military and immigration agents into Democratic-run cities from Chicago to Los Angeles.
