The mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina, said that federal agents will be continuing their operations in the area on Tuesday.

Speaking at a Raleigh City Council meeting, Mayor Janet Cowell said there had been “confirmed sightings” of Border Patrol officers operating in Wake County, which includes Raleigh, and nearby Durham County, which includes the city of Durham.

Authorities have charged a man after they said he struck a federal officer with his car during an encounter on Monday.

N.C., tells “Morning in America” he believes Democratic backlash over federal immigration enforcement in Raleigh and Charlotte is misplaced. He says agents have a “very targeted list of folks that they’re looking for” in North Carolina and are doing more good than harm.

The Trump administration has made the Democratic city of about 950,000 people its latest target for an immigration enforcement surge it says will combat crime, despite fierce objections from local leaders and downtrending crime rates.

Federal officials with Homeland Security said agents in Charlotte faced another ‘vehicle ramming’ incident during ongoing immigration enforcement.

Homeland Security says Border Patrol has arrested more than 200 people in Charlotte, agents started detaining people in Raleigh Tuesday too

DHS says the surge is meant to target public safety threats, but Charlotte leaders warn the federal operation is heightening fear.
