'''Summary:'''
On November 18, 2025, seven armed federal immigration agents detained a U.S. citizen teenager outside a grocery store in Charlotte, North Carolina. Video shows the agents blocking the entrance as the teen and bystanders attempt to explain that he is a citizen. The child appears visibly distressed while surrounded by the federal team.

One of the agents present is publicly identifiable: '''Gregory Bovino''', a U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief and public figure. His presence confirms that senior CBP leadership was participating in field operations in the Charlotte area that day.

== Full Description ==
Witness footage shows seven agents in tactical gear stopping a teenager near the entrance of a grocery store. Bystanders filmed the encounter, repeatedly stating that the teen was a U.S. citizen. The agents continued detaining him until documentation was provided and his status was confirmed.

No ICE or CBP vehicle is clearly identifiable in the footage, and the agents appear to have arrived on foot or from vehicles outside the frame.

The incident has contributed to heightened public concern about the widespread presence of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina following a series of similar reports and videos during the same week.

== Agents Involved ==
Seven agents (faces visible but identities unconfirmed), assigned temporary IDs for tracking:

* [[Agent:NC-0004]]
* [[Agent:NC-0005]]
* [[Agent:NC-0006]]
* [[Agent:NC-0007]]
* [[Agent:NC-0008]]
* [[Agent:NC-0009]]
* [[Agent:NC-0010]]

Additionally, '''Gregory Bovino''' (public figure, no agent page) is visibly present in the center of the group.

== Evidence ==
* Clear on-site video from multiple angles
* Direct repost from @thecharlotteobserver TikTok
* Identification of uniform patches and personnel

== Notes ==
* This is one of several November 2025 Charlotte-area detentions involving U.S. citizens or minors.
* The teen’s name is not included for privacy.
