Overview
- Raleigh and Durham officials reported sightings and several detentions by agents, though a senior administration official said there are no current plans for a large-scale operation there.
- DHS raised the Charlotte arrest total to 207 as of Monday night and said many detainees have criminal records, with claims that at least 44 are among the most serious offenders.
- Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools tallied 30,399 absences Monday, and some Latino-owned businesses closed as residents reported fear and disruptions to daily life.
- Videos and eyewitness accounts showed masked agents detaining people in public spaces, including an incident where a U.S. citizen’s car window was smashed before he was released.
- Political and cultural pushback intensified as Gov. Josh Stein urged residents to document encounters and E. B. White’s granddaughter objected to the use of “Charlotte’s Web” for the operation’s name.
