Federal Immigration Agents Expand Actions In N.C.

Federal Immigration agents will expand enforcement action in North Carolina.

Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell said it is unclear how large the operation would be or how long agents would be present. She asked residents of the state’s capital to remember their values and maintain peace and respect through any upcoming challenges.

The move comes as Customs and Border Protection agents continue operating in Charlotte following a weekend that saw arrests of more than 130 people in that city.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said he is aware of the operations in his state and also asked residents to remain peaceful and report any wrong-doing to local law enforcement.
