Immigration and Customs Enforcement will have a full-time anti-gang unit in Charlotte by the end of the summer. U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick sent a letter to ICE Assistant Secretary John T. Morton in late-May asking for a temporary unit to become permanent.
"The temporary ICE gang unit that has worked with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to dismantle violent street gangs like MS-13 has been a great success. I'm hopeful that a permanent presence will build on this success to further disrupt the violent gang activities that threaten the safety of our citizens," Myrick said.

Well, it's certain that illegal immigration is a serious problem in one area when a city's police department creates a unit that works with ICE to focus on foreign gang members.
