Masked federal immigration officers fanned out across Charlotte over the weekend, sparking protests as the Trump administration shifted its mass deportation campaign to North Carolina’s largest city. Democratic Governor Josh Stein said the agents were carrying out racial profiling and stoking fear.

Gov. Josh Stein: “We’ve seen masked, heavily armed agents in paramilitary garb driving unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color, racially profiling and picking up random people in parking lots and off of our sidewalks.”

Among those targeted were landscapers decorating Christmas trees and congregants of an east Charlotte church volunteering to tend a garden. In another incident shared widely on social media, masked federal agents pulled over Willy Wender Aceituno Medina, a Honduras-born U.S. citizen, and forced him from his vehicle.

Willy Wender Aceituno Medina: “No. If you break it, you will pay for it. If you break it, you will pay for it. If you break my window.”

CBP agent: “Get out!”

Willy Wender Aceituno Medina: “Why did you do this, sir? Why are you doing this?”

Aceituno told reporters he warned the agents he was a U.S. citizen but that they didn’t believe him. He suffered cuts to his arm and a neck injury. He later filed a police report over the broken glass.
