Operation Charlotte's Web arrested 81 people this weekend. Here's what happened and what you need to know before federal agents arrive in your community.
This is beyond horrible. And the use of a children's book title is reprehensible, making light of a tragic situation. Stuart Stevens suggested the blue state governors join together and muster their state's militias. That sounds like a good idea. Fight fire with fire.
I just finished reading this appalling article, here on the countryside of Uruguay. The contrast between there and here is even more frightening. Not even during military dictatorship, which lasted till 1984, such dreadful things happened, and atrocities were committed by either them and the tupamaros. My family arrived in 1979. We were issued a temporary CI (cédula de identidad), with our birthplace (Perú) included. Police stopped us, asked for them, let us go on. The USA ICE, with a democracy, are behaving worse. They are a small Geheime Staatspolizei with licence to kill. I shall download and archive this article to quietly peruse, when I am less shaken.
KKK starting in Indiana in about 1922 and spread through out our country for several under “Grand Dragon” DC Stevenson going after Blacks, Jews, Italians, Catholics etc until he raped physically abused a young woman who died from massive infection from bites on her body. He bragged “I am the Law” but he was convicted and sent to prison for life in 1925 which finally opened the country’s eyes to see what KKK (white nationalists) was all about
Read Fever in the Heartland. The KKK type ills of our country must be changed by loving, caring citizens who know all lives matter.
This is such an important reminder. Systems don’t become dangerous overnight they gradually evolve. The past doesn’t perfectly mirror the present, but the throughline is the same: when agencies operate without oversight, the public pays the price. Thank you for laying this out so clearly.
They've been brainwashed to believe all that's being taken are illegal criminals. They have been told anyone without citizenship is illegal. They have no clue that it takes years, lots of money, and lots of time in court to gain that citizenship. They don't know, or care, that while going through that process you are NOT illegal. They've also been brainwashed to believe these "illegals" are using citizen only benefits like SNAP & Medicaid. They refuse to listen when told, even with factual links attached, that "illegals" aren't allowed on those programs.
It's taken decades of slow manipulation, and subtle brainwashing, to twist the truth into the reality of lies they now live, and believe, in. That's not something that can just end easily overnight. That's outside of those that are truly just racist pieces of sh*t anyway. The ones that believe in white supremacy & nationalism.
How can this happen in America? Because our government is controlled by vicious, greedy people. How is it possible they are in this position of power? Because not enough voters voted for decency and those who did voted for the degradation of our country. They believed a liar, a man incable of one thought about anyone except himself. Now thugs with government orders smash our cities and arrest innocent people. How long will you allow this? VOTE next year to replace the Republicans who enable this atrocious conduct. The future of everyone is in danger! Thank you.
Deplorable actions from ICE in another city! I live in NC but in an area that they wouldn’t bother with, western NC. I could be wrong about this. Nobody really knows what they will do next. I’m sickened by what they’ve done in Charlotte and everywhere else!!
There have been confirmed reports that F$&king ICE is in Asheville, NC too which is a couple of hours away from Charlotte.
It was only a matter of time for Asheville. We’re a blue dot sanctuary city surrounded by a sea of red jackasses. We will not let this stand! There are already protests and mutual aid groups popping up everywhere to give our immigrant friends, neighbors, and family rides to the grocery store, school, church, or wherever they’re afraid to go. We’re collecting food and anything else they may need.
I’m so angry at the terror they’re inflicting on the entire community, I want to cry. ICE jackboots aren’t here in the name of “public safety!” They’re here to terrorize communities. Abolish ICE!
Enraging. I would like to think that nobody voted for this cold, heartless implementation of an immoral racist ideology, intentionally catastrophic to the most vulnerable. Stephen Miller is evil, as are those who willingly do his bidding with unnecessary violence and extreme disrespect. Bovino is a home-grown brownshirt.
What is the case for CBP in Charlotte, NC? Are they supposed to work within 100 miles of a U.S. border? Similar to Chicago, Charlotte seems to be outside the self-described scope for these agents? Is there a specific exception being applied? Chicago was rationalized with the pretense map they publish that ignores that the border is in Michigan and pretends that the border is defined as the shores of an inland waterway hundreds is miles from the actual border visible on any map.
The evil hand of Bovino and Co. reaches down to sow fear and chaos. This isn’t government, it’s hell on earth!
Yes! People deserve to know who is operating in their neighborhoods, under what authority, and with what limits.

Thank you for sharing this. Communities raising the alarm early is so important. None of us should wait until the damage is already done to push back.

This article was posted on Facebook by Fox 8 News. The comments were HATEFUL.
How can anybody defend this?

Sickening. Haven’t heard of huge activity in Jax Floriduh but do know they frequent Lowe’s n Home Depot on the west side
Thanks for the resources and visibility.

Yes, a Latino family in Albany Oregon had the father taken by ICE last week. The mother has two kids and a newborn.

What should we expect from a con man who wants to over-throw democracy and a bitch who shoots puppies?
Red state governors won’t fight back. They will allow in their cities.
I hope I live to see the trials!
