U.S. Border Patrol conducts enhanced security operations in south Florida in preparation of Super Bowl LIV, Feb. 1, 2020, in Miami. Additional agents assisted in highway patrols, partnering with state and local law enforcement.

The Department of Homeland Security says the number of people arrested in Charlotte since Saturday is now more than 250. Border Patrol agents started sweeping the city five days ago, looking for people present in the country illegally. The Border Patrol has not responded to WFAE’s questions about the identities of those arrested, what they’re charged with or where they’ve been taken.
