The Trump administration is planning to dispatch Border Patrol agents to Charlotte and New Orleans to oversee immigration operations that could involve armored vehicles and special operations teams.

On Central Avenue, a picture by Immigration Alerts CLT appeared to show two federal agents behind a man with his hands behind his back.

A demonstration is planned in uptown Charlotte ahead of the expected arrival of Border Patrol agents. Gov. Josh Stein is urging residents to "remain peaceful" and to record inappropriate behavior by federal agents with their phones.

Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden said in a statement that two federal officials confirmed a plan for U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to start an enforcement operation on Saturday or early next week in North Carolina’s largest city.

Customs and Border Patrol Commander-at-large Greg Bovino and his team are eyeing Charlotte and New Orleans as the next cities for increased immigration enforcement, according to multiple sources. The plans are preliminary and could change, the sources told ABC News. It is unclear if they would run at the same time or one city would go first.
