CBP Launches Operation Charlotte’s Web, 81 Arrested, GOP Pushes Back on Stein’s Medicaid Call
Description
The Department of Homeland Security has launched Operation Charlotte’s Web, a large-scale enforcement effort targeting criminal illegal aliens in Charlotte. So far, 81 arrests have been made, with DHS citing violent offenders among those detained. Governor Josh Stein released a statement emphasizing the need for local, state, and federal coordination to ensure safety while upholding due process. Meanwhile, top Republican lawmakers say Stein’s recent call for a special Medicaid session is unconstitutional, arguing he overstepped executive authority. FEMA has also approved $155 million in recovery funding for Western North Carolina communities still rebuilding from Hurricane Helene. The General Assembly returns to Raleigh this week, though no major votes are expected.
