Inside one East Charlotte apartment.

A 14-year-old girl, Paloma, filmed herself hiding with family after spotting Border Patrol agents outside.

NPR isn't using her full name because members of her family are undocumented.

Her dad isn't working this week, and her brother isn't going to school.

Officials say 44 people detained in Charlotte have criminal backgrounds.

Two are suspected gang members.

Others have no criminal history.

For NPR News, I'm Nick Delacanel in Charlotte.

Thank you.

What's it like to be around Charlotte right now?

Well, we started to see this crackdown Saturday morning when the city woke up to dozens of Border Patrol agents driving through Charlotte in unmarked vans, especially along the city's major immigrant corridors.

And very quickly, videos started circulating online of agents chasing people down sidewalks, breaking the car window of a man who later said he was a U.S.

citizen.

Agents were also filmed questioning landscapers who were putting up Christmas lights in a front yard.

And, you know, it created a lot of chaos.

One of the people I spoke with was Jessica Arias, who owns an auto shop in East Charlotte.

And she says one of her employees was detained after agents pulled up and chased him.

when a man was hospitalized for a medical episode as agents were trying to detain him outside a church.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino said agents arrested 81 people on Saturday.

We're still waiting on numbers from Sunday.
