Federal agents from U.S. Border Patrol are expected to arrive in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the weekend to search for and arrest illegal immigrants in the sanctuary city, prompting concerns from elected officials and the community.

Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden told the Washington Examiner on Friday afternoon that the department is prepared for the arrival of hundreds of Border Patrol agents. Unlike in Chicago, the agents will be staying in privately owned hotels rather than at a military base.
