The trending conversation is fueled by federal immigration agents deploying to Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of a sweeping enforcement operation dubbed "Operation Charlotte's Web." Local news reports detail widespread fear and disruption, including businesses closing to protect customers, church members fleeing agents, and the questioning of individuals at public places like Walmart. People are reacting with alarm to the heavy-handed tactics and the targeting of a city described as generally safe and politically leaning blue. The human angle centers on concerns for individual liberties, the potential for police state overreach, and solidarity with those being impacted by these immigration sweeps.
