My team and I have been in regular contact with state and local law enforcement to ensure that they have the resources that they need to keep you safe.

Public safety is our top priority.

On Friday, before Customs and Border Protection came to Charlotte, I encouraged North Carolinians to follow the law, remain peaceful, and bear witness to what you're seeing.

To the CBP, if you know that we have violent criminals in Charlotte who are undocumented, we want them out too.

Everyone wants to be safe in their communities.

But the actions of too many federal agents are doing the exact opposite in Charlotte.

We've seen masked, heavily armed agents in paramilitary garb driving unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color.

This is not making us safer.

It's stoking fear and dividing our community.
