- Tatyana Reisini and Kristen Roos, two U.S. citizens, are suing the federal government for $2.5 million after being arrested by immigration agents in Charlotte, North Carolina.
- The incident occurred on November 17, 2025, when the women honked their car horn and blew a whistle to alert others to the presence of federal agents conducting "Operation Charlotte's Web."
- Federal agents pursued the women, boxed in their car, and eventually smashed their car window with a rifle after they pulled into a dead-end street.
- Reisini and Roos were zip-tied, taken to an FBI building for four hours, and charged with assaulting federal agents, though these charges were later dropped in March.
- Their lawsuit alleges false imprisonment, false arrest, assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, negligence, and violations of their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
