Summary:
On November 18, 2025, seven armed federal immigration agents detained a U.S. citizen teenager outside a grocery store in Charlotte, North Carolina.

One of the agents present is publicly identifiable: Gregory Bovino, a U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief and public figure. His presence confirms that senior CBP leadership was participating in field operations in the Charlotte area that day.
