Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, Wednesday as Border Patrol agents continued to target Latinx communities, with over 250 immigrants reportedly arrested in recent days. This is Renee Tillett, a resident of Fort Mill, South Carolina, who joined the protests.

Renee Tillett: “I feel it’s important that we’re out here, not sitting at home on our butts, quiet about what’s going on. If you’re not seeing something and saying something, you’re complicit. I do not want to be complicit. What’s going on here is illegal. It’s warrantless. And people are getting picked up without proper identification, without warrants, and that is wrong. Doesn’t matter who you are. That is wrong. We need to support our immigrants. We love our immigrants here in Charlotte.”

This week, the Border Patrol expanded its North Carolina operations to include the heavily Democratic Research Triangle region, which includes Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, new data reported by the Chicago Tribune finds that 97% of immigrants detained in the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” had no criminal conviction, according to federal court records.
