The Charlotte Observer
North Carolina -- U.S. Customs and Immigration agency is building a team of federal officers in Charlotte as part of a wide-scale effort to search out fugitive illegal immigrants.
The Charlotte team, one of 52 nationwide, will be made up of five to seven members focused on tracking down and deporting immigrants who have failed to comply with a judge's order to leave the country.
"The days of ignoring immigration law are over," Marc Raimondi, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, said. "A failure to comply is not an option. The person ordered to be removed needs to comply with that order or we'll assist them with compliance."
