Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Tuesday, November 18th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
Charlotte's a beautiful city, but in this case, its leadership has absolutely failed it.
The Trump administration surging DHS agents to Charlotte, North Carolina, the latest effort to crack down on illegal immigration.

Chapter 3: How might the U.S. military intervene in Venezuela according to President Trump?
One more time, BrickHouseSale.com. Sanctuary City, Charlotte, North Carolina, the latest major urban area in President Trump's immigration crackdown. At least 130 people arrested in the first several days of what DHS dubs Operation Charlotte's Web, headed by Customs and Border Protection.
DHS has not provided a timeline for how long the operation is expected to last, but it began over the weekend. An agency spokesperson telling CNN that criminal records of those arrested include known gang membership, aggravated assault, hit-and-run, DUI, DWI, illegal re-entry after prior deportation, and more.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin yesterday on Newsmax saying federal agents are targeting Charlotte because local officials refuse to cooperate with ICE.
Charlotte's a beautiful city, but in this case, its leadership has absolutely failed it. We know that there is more than 1,400 criminal legal aliens who are in their jails, and they refuse to turn over those individuals to ICE law enforcement. Which really, that means a revolving door of justice and these criminal legal aliens will go back onto Charlotte's streets to re-perpetuate their crimes.
Chapter 4: What challenges are facing the DOJ's case against James Comey?
We're talking about serial child pedophiles, murderers, rapists, gang members, people who pose real public security threats to the American people. And so, of course, we are surging resources there and we won't stop until Charlotte is safer.
Hundreds of community members mobilizing in opposition to the operation marching through the streets. Students at a Charlotte high school staging a walkout on Monday. CNN reports a popular Colombian bakery closing after the owner says agents tackled people outside of his shop.
Chapter 5: What does recent data reveal about AOC's political messaging effectiveness?
In one Sunday incident, video posted to X showing the driver of a van, reportedly a U.S. citizen, steering toward federal agents while they were conducting an operation. DHS saying the driver fled the scene, triggering a high-speed chase with agents, recovering firearms from the vehicle upon apprehension.
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein, a Democrat, on Sunday posting a video message to social media accusing federal agents of stoking fear.
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.
Despite the governor's statement, Mecklenburg County officers, where Charlotte is located, do not assist with federal immigration operations, a policy reaffirmed in a joint statement released by Charlotte city and county officials just this past Saturday. It reads in part, quote, CBP operations are causing unnecessary fear and uncertainty in our community.
We stand with all residents who simply want to go about their lives. contributing to our larger community. Yesterday on Fox, CBP Senior Advisor Ron Vitello defending the operation.
I would take umbrage of the mayor's comments. You know, she wants everybody to live peacefully in Charlotte Mecklenburg. That's not the way this works. If you come across the border illegally, you're in the country illegally and you're subject to arrest. And they are going after the worst of the worst and the data proves it so far.
Border Czar Tom Homan making clear two months ago Sanctuary cities will come under more scrutiny, not less.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Operation Charlotte's Web on local communities?
Peace, peace, peace. Alfred Nazareth, how was John Lennon's song? President Trump telling reporters he has, quote, sort of made up his mind on the issue. Yesterday, adding he is open to speaking with Maduro.
Yeah, I probably would talk to him. Yeah, I talk to everybody.
Is there anything that he could say that you would be OK? It's hard to say that.
It's just that, look, he's done tremendous damage to our country. He has not been good to the United States. So we'll see what happens. At a certain period of time, I'll be talking to him.
