More than 200 Migrants Arrested in Charlotte

Posted For: Rotorblade

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports arresting 200 undocumented migrants in Charlotte, North Carolina, during the first weekend of its operation named “Operation Charlotte’s Web.” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified about 44 of those arrested by name and provided detailed allegations against many of them, NewsNation reported.

DHS noted that some of the alleged offenses include aggravated assault, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault on a police officer, battery, driving under the influence, and hit-and-run.

“There is absolutely no excuse to continue allowing criminal illegal aliens to terrorize our American communities,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “These are violent assailants, gang members, and repeat offenders who have zero regard for the rule of law in our country. They are here illegally and should never have been here in the first place. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are REMOVING the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our communities once and for all.”

Among those arrested were 18th Street gang member Manuel Vasquez-Gavarrete, MS-13 gang member Humberto Pozada-Rodriguez, and Leonel De Jesus Chinchea-Galvan — who was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a dangerous weapon, and drunk driving, and had previously been deported at least once.

“Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens hurting them, their families, or their neighbors. We are surging DHS law-enforcement to Charlotte to ensure Americans are safe and public-safety threats are removed. There have been too many victims of criminal illegal aliens. President Trump and Secretary Noem will step up to protect Americans when sanctuary politicians won’t,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin when the campaign was announced on November 15.
