CBP To Deploy In Raleigh After Charlotte Sweep: 130 Arrests Signal NC Surge

Democratic legislative sources say U.S. Customs and Border Protection will deploy agents to the Raleigh area Tuesday, days after a major Charlotte operation dubbed “Operation Charlotte’s Web” that brought roughly 200 agents and at least 130 arrests. Officials offered few details on the scope, duration, or target area, and CBP declined to discuss operations. Local leaders are preparing statements and briefings, with uncertainty over whether the action covers Raleigh, Wake County, or the broader Triangle. The move points to a rapid, coordinated interior enforcement surge across North Carolina.
