Charlotte, NC, July 21, 2026 —

Two U.S. citizens from Charlotte have filed notices of claims against multiple U.S. government agencies, seeking over $1.2 million each in damages. The claims stem from events that occurred in November 2025 during an operation identified as “Operation Charlotte’s Web.” The women allege that federal agents, including those from Border Patrol and ICE, subjected them to dangerous and unlawful actions.

According to the notices of claims, the women assert that federal agents pointed a weapon at them, falsely imprisoned them, and unlawfully arrested them. The incident reportedly began when the women allegedly honked their horns to alert the community to the presence of the federal agents. Following this action, they were initially charged with assaulting federal agents.

These charges, however, were later dismissed. The women are now seeking substantial compensation for what they describe as physical, psychological, and emotional damages incurred as a result of the encounter with federal agents.

The specific details regarding the number of agents involved, the exact duration of the alleged false imprisonment, and the precise nature of the alleged unlawful arrest were not immediately available. The government agencies named in the claims include Border Patrol and ICE. The contractor’s name was not provided.

The sum being sought by each woman exceeds $1.2 million. The claims represent a formal step before a potential lawsuit can be filed, asserting grievances against federal entities for alleged misconduct during law enforcement operations.
