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.

Officials in North Carolina vow to fight Trump's immigration crackdown

Officials and community leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, are opposing a pending federal immigration crackdown. They describe it as an invasion and urge residents to protest peacefully and record agents' actions from a distance.

Local officials emphasize that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department isn't involved in federal immigration enforcement.
