Bakery Confrontation, Border Patrol Arrests, and Job Shift To India
Manolo Betancur says a former U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large recorded a podcast at his parking lot, but Betancur refused to let him in; he estimates his bakery lost $50,000 to $64,000 since Operation Charlotte’s Web led to 370+ arrests. Charlotte City Council ended a rule allowing drivers to block sidewalks, while polls and Senate-race fundraising frame the politics. Harris Teeter’s parent company is shifting jobs to India.
