DHS Continues to Catch the Worst of the Worst During Operation Charlotte’s Web

While the media and sanctuary politicians vilify law enforcement, DHS arrests domestic violence assailants, burglars, and drunk drivers

WASHINGTON — In a major win for residents of the Charlotte, North Carolina area, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it has arrested over 250 illegal aliens from the Charlotte area. Among those arrested are numerous criminal illegal aliens with extensive immigration and criminal histories, including domestic violence, assault, breaking and entering, larceny, and driving while intoxicated.

“While the media and sanctuary politicians try and spread falsehoods and demean DHS law enforcement, the men and woman of DHS are risking their lives and saftey to arrest illegal criminal aliens that are victimizing Americans,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We are going to continue to do our job and stand up for North Carolinians who live in fear because of violent criminal illegal aliens.”
