Community leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, are opposing a pending federal immigration operation, labeling it as an invasion and a racist campaign of terror. They urge residents to protest peacefully and record any actions by federal agents. The operation, set to begin by Saturday, has been confirmed by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff. Commissioner Susan Rodriguez-McDowell, whose family includes immigrants, expresses concern, drawing parallels to past events in other Democratic-led cities. State Representative Jordan Lopez highlights instances of federal agents allegedly pointing weapons at unarmed civilians and rounding up people in their homes. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department clarifies it does not enforce federal immigration laws. The community is bracing for the impact, with many expressing solidarity and a commitment to protecting their neighbors.
