DHS reported more than 250 arrests as of Tuesday night, and enforcement efforts expanded into Raleigh and surrounding areas. After five days of raids and protests, U.S. Border Patrol operations in Charlotte wound down and were reported to have ceased. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office received assurances that the operation had concluded and that no further operations would occur that Thursday. ICE retains authority to detain undocumented immigrants and continues routine operations in the county.
