 John — Over the weekend, federal agents descended on Charlotte, NC, conducting raids designed to scare North Carolinians into submission. They swept people up randomly — including American citizens and those with no criminal records — targeting them for arrest just because of what they look like. This doesn’t make us safer, John. Let me be clear: I’ve prosecuted violent criminals and fought to keep them behind bars, so I know the importance of using federal resources that focus on keeping those bad actors off our streets, deporting violent criminals, and keeping our borders strong. That’s not what this weekend’s actions in North Carolina were about. These actions risk leaving violent criminals at large while hurting families and the economy. To truly protect communities, federal leaders should concentrate their efforts on deporting those violent criminals, not scaring folks who are just going about their days. John, as the next Democratic U.S. Senator from North Carolina, I will work with anyone who wants to help keep our country truly safe. And I’ll stand up to attempts to intimidate our people for blatantly political purposes. I’m asking for your support now to help me get to Washington and get this country back on track.
Thank you, Roy Cooper
