When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Stein had inked today for a special session to pass full funding for Medicaid. GOP leaders in both chambers rejected it. House and Senate both agree it needs $$$, but can't agree on exact bill. Now governor's criticizing Hall & Berger by name. Legislative Dems holding a press event today. #ncpol
Speaker Hall and Senator Berger made the time to gerrymander our state but couldn’t find the time to protect people’s health care or pass a budget that pays our teachers, law enforcement, or state employees.

“Hasn’t released records” is a key point, because DHS lies. It’s also clear that they are arresting many citizens, so expect the number of arrests to diminish. And how much are taxpayers spending for this farce anyway? What a waste of time and money. #NCpol

This is what ICE is doing to the Charlotte community after ONE DAY. Kidnapping working people out of a place of worship IN FRONT OF CHILDREN. I dunno how those agents sleep at night. Shame. #NCpol

For those wondering why ICE is leaving Chicago and heading to Charlotte, it’s because winter in Chicago is hard, and they don’t like to do things that are hard. That’s also why they’re kidnapping law abiding citizens instead of going after criminals.

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.
“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

“When the show’s over, what they’ll leave behind is predictable. They’ll beat up some protesters. They’ll arrest people they’re not supposed to, including U.S. citizens. And afterward, the legal system will sort through the mess they’ve made.”

Rep. Mark Harris wants the National Guard to help fight crime in Charlotte. Data shows that the more rural parts of his district have a higher rate of violent crime. www.ncrabbithole.com/p/republican...
GOP congressmen want the National Guard in Charlotte. Here's where violent crime is a bigger problem.
Sure, the data can't always tell the entire story. But one representative who's asking for a deployment isn't suggesting the same solution for a more violent place in his own district.
