Federal immigration agents are on the bottom in Raleigh, North Carolina, with plans to conduct operations as early as Tuesday, Mayor Janet Cowell advised NCS affiliate WRAL.
Federal authorities haven’t shared who they’re concentrating on or given any clear timeline for when their operations is perhaps completed, she advised the outlet in a telephone interview Monday.
NCS has reached out to the mayor’s workplace for particulars.
“We didn’t ask for this presence … We feel like the Raleigh police are doing a great job here locally,” Cowell mentioned, noting native police might be doing regular patrols in the group.
The transfer comes because the Department of Homeland Security just lately turned its attention to Charlotte, North Carolina, the place greater than 130 individuals have been detained over the weekend in an immigration enforcement effort. At least 44 of these arrested had prison information, in response to DHS.
