CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested hundreds of people living without documents in North Carolina last week, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The spike in arrests comes after major counties in the state severed ties with ICE.
According to the Charlotte Observer, ICE Regional Director Sean Gallaghar said, “This is the direct conclusion of dangerous policies of not cooperating with ICE. This forces my officers to go out onto the street to conduct more enforcement.”
About 200 people were detained in North Carolina. Gallaghar said the arrests could continue if ICE is not allowed to access county jails.
Mecklenburg and Wake counties used to notify ICE of the legal status of inmates until new sheriffs reversed the policies in December.
The Durham County Sheriff’s Office similarly stopped honoring ICE detainers.
Charlotte City Council Member Braxton Winston said to reporters he was told by ICE official Robert Alfieri that these arrests are the “new normal,” blaming Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden for not cooperating.

My sister works there
They will impress me when they go after the Chinese Buffets who are a regular funnel of human trafficking. I learned that the food was not made with love but with misery and hopelessness so will never patronize one again.
Well dayum. I was checkin them out for a new 6.8 upper, but their reviews online were very sketchy and the prices "suspiciously low".
Was tryin to shop local. I'm in Lexington.
Might just hasta talk to the folks at White Oak again. d;^)
I might be in Lexington soon. That plant they’re building may put the plant where I work out of business.
I've been wondering what they were building out there, but never can remember it when I was online. d:^)
It’ll be a particleboard plant. Basically, they’ll take wood scraps and make boards out of it. They’ll have all the latest technology in it. It’s good stuff. Upper market doors have particleboard cores, probably made in the plant where I work now.
