The Department of Homeland Security has launched intensified immigration enforcement operations in Charlotte, targeting individuals with criminal records who officials describe as shielded by local sanctuary policies. Federal authorities report that North Carolina agencies declined approximately 1,400 detainer requests, releasing people from custody without transferring them to immigration control.

ICE agents have expanded enforcement activities across churches, workplaces and residential areas while conducting increased traffic stops and document checks. The action follows longstanding friction between federal immigration officials and local sheriffs in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas, who have resisted holding detainees beyond scheduled release times.

State legislators responded by enacting House Bill 10, which requires law enforcement to alert federal authorities before releasing individuals subject to ICE detainers and permits holding them for up to 48 hours. Trump previously issued an executive order in 2017 directing agencies to restrict certain federal funding to jurisdictions limiting cooperation with immigration enforcement.
