Border Patrol Protest Trial Unfolds | Charlotte News

Federal trial kicks off in Charlotte over November Border Patrol protests, with Heather Morrow and William Stanley facing charges for allegedly assaulting agents during “Operation Charlotte’s Web.” Morrow, arrested for allegedly jumping on an officer, now faces misdemeanor counts after prosecutors dropped a felony — her defense argues video shows she was taken down, not the other way around, and claims federal agents lost footage proving the incident didn’t occur on federal land. Stanley is charged for punching an officer’s window. Activists rally outside court, calling the pair targeted for speaking out and warning of broader implications for protest rights and free speech as the case unfolds.
