US Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that the number of people arrested over the past three days in Charlotte has passed 200. Agents have been rounding up people accused of being in the country illegally. Operation Charlotte’s Web, as the Department of Homeland Security is calling the enforcement push, started on Saturday and has involved arrests at workplaces, supermarkets and shops in heavily immigrant areas.
