Sanctuary Information
November 2025
In November 2025, DHS announced Operation “Charlotte’s Web,” a major deployment of ICE and CBP to North Carolina. This announcement explicitly claimed that it was necessary because some North Carolina jurisdictions have a policy not to comply with detainers. However, Charlotte, the main target of the operation, does not have a sanctuary policy and is instead known as a welcoming city, meaning simply that they seek to make the city a safe and welcoming place for immigrant residents. In just two days, DHS reported more than 130 arrests.
There was no National Guard deployment accompanying this immigration enforcement operation.
