Community leaders in Charlotte are vocally opposing a potential federal immigration crackdown, describing it as an invasion and urging peaceful protests and documentation of agents' actions. With no official notice from the Trump administration, local groups are training volunteers to protect immigrant rights and monitor enforcement efforts, echoing scenes from other Democratic cities like Chicago. Officials like Mecklenburg County Commissioner Susan Rodriguez-McDowell and Rep. Jordan Lopez criticize the operation as chaos and violence, framing it as part of a “racist campaign of terror.” Are these protests enough to halt or challenge federal enforcement?
