ICE Targets Charlotte, NC for Illegal Alien Arrests; Thirty Thousand Students In Public Schools Stay Home

Does this mean that around 30,000 of Charlotte's public school students are illegals or children of illegals? I think it does. I did not hear of any leftist campaign to Keep Your Kids Home as a protest. This was organic.

Note the number claimed earlier was 20,000, but it appears to be 30,000.

Almost 20% of the school population appears to be illegal alien children.

All paid for by American taxpayers.

On Monday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools saw a tremendous number of absences, nearly 20% of students, shortly after ICE showed up in town and illegal migrant communities became afraid of going out in public.

Nearby district, Wake County, told illegals that it will have teachers deliver Zoom lessons so that they can stay home to evade ICE.

Charlotte has 900,000 residents, and more than 150,000 are foreign nationals, which comes out to roughly one in six people.

When a city carries numbers like that, it shows up everywhere. Uptown murders are up 200 percent. Aggravated assaults with knives or guns climbed from 86 to 111 year over year. Strong-arm robberies went from 26 to 31 in the same period. Families feel the strain in housing, in classrooms, and in basic public safety.

That is the environment @CBP walked into because the scale of the population shift and the rise in violent crime have outpaced what local agencies can handle on their own.

A city cannot function when the pressure points stack up like this. Charlotte has to put the safety of its residents first or the numbers will keep getting worse, no matter who pretends otherwise.

One illegal injured an officer by "weaponizing his car." I guess a new euphemism for "running down a cop" has dropped.

One person was injured after a vehicle was used to attack Department of Homeland Security agents performing a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday.

"his afternoon in Charlotte near University City, a United States citizen weaponized his vehicle, driving a large van at law enforcement while they were conducting an operation," DHS posted on X.

The officer is reported to be in stable and culturally-enriched condition.

Thanks to legal immigration, Charlotte has warring clans of Eritreans and Ethiopians.

Below: This is alarming: 1, it appears that the construction industry is filled with illegals.

Which means 2, it's going to take a while to lure Americans back to these jobs they've been excluded from, and in the meantime, construction will slow to a crawl.

On the other hand: X users report that there is almost no traffic in Charlotte.

1,400 serious criminal illegal aliens were targeted, but, as usual, when Democrats refuse to cooperate with ICE to turn over the serious criminals, ICE and Border Patrol have to go looking for them, and they wind up arresting less serious criminal illegals because of it.

Democrat Roy Cooper -- formerly a governor, now running for Senate -- is complaining about the 1,400 hardened criminals being arrested.

Criminals, DHS points out, that he he himself has previously shielded from deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security issued an unusually sharp and highly public rebuke of U.S. Senate candidate and former North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper after he criticized federal immigration enforcement operations in Charlotte. Cooper wrote on social media that while he supports using federal resources to deport violent offenders, he opposes "randomly sweeping up people based on what they look like," warning that such tactics could leave dangerous criminals at large while harming families and the economy.

DHS immediately fired back, using its official X account to highlight the case of Jordan Renato Castillo-Chavez, a Costa Rican national whom North Carolina authorities had previously declined to transfer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). DHS described Castillo-Chavez as a "criminal illegal alien" with a record that includes indecent liberties with a child, first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and solicitation of a child via computer. The agency's message to Cooper was pointed: "North Carolina refused to hand him over to ICE."
