WCNC notes that ICE made five arrests of known drug-dealers in Charlotte who were in the country illegally. Meanwhile Mexico undergoes its worst spasm of violence since the Revolution, with hundreds killed in what can only be called a guerrilla war between drug gangs and federal authorities.

In profitable turf like Charlotte.
