#Clt Observer

A mother to students at Charlotte East Language Academy, said in an editorial published by The Charlotte Observer that ICE detained a parent dropping children off on Monday. The apparent arrest has caused the school’s parent teacher association to demand action from the school board. School Principal Sarah Lang told parents in an email Monday evening that Immigration and Customs Enforcement “activity occurred near our school’s drop off line earlier today.” This is a developing story and will be updated. ✍️ Ryan Oehrli 🎥 Miriam Lara 🔗 Visit our website for more.

@charlotteobserver Willy Aceituno said agents broke a window of his pickup outside the Pollo Campero restaurant, near the intersection of South Boulevard and Archdale Drive in Charlotte. Aceituno told a Charlotte Observer reporter at the scene that the agents took his keys. Agents twice stopped him in his pickup within about 10 minutes, he said. “Are you an illegal immigrant?” he said an officer asked. “I don’t have to answer your questions,” he said he replied. “Why don’t you ask other people that? Why just me?” Aceituno said he’s originally from Honduras and has been a U.S. citizen for about six years. #charlotte #borderpatrol #ice #northcarolina #settlercolonialism

The man accused of setting a 26-year-old woman on fire on a Chicago train has been arrested 72 times before. In August, a woman originally from Ukraine was stabbed to death on a Charlotte bus by a man who had been arrested more than a dozen times. CBS News’ Anna Schecter says these incidents raise questions about recidivism – the tendency for people who have committed crimes to re-offend. While some activists and experts believe the issue would be solved if violent criminals were incarcerated, others say giving support to criminals during a crucial and vulnerable time may dissuade them from re-offending. #chicago #crime #news
