Controversy continues between Meklanberg County Sheriff Gary McFaden and Ice. Sheriff McFaden Jose is re -commenting on Napoleon Serano’s arrest. Channel 9 twice covered the arrest of Honduran National’s snow. One was issued in custody and Napoleon-Serano was held for 48 hours, but Ice says he was released without notifying the agency. The prisoner requested MCSO call ice before its release. Since the implementation of the HB10, which requires the sheriff to cooperate in the snow, Sheriff Gary McFadeen has said that phone call notification does not require.
In a new statement on Wednesday afternoon, Sheriff McFaden asked the ICE to inform his agency about its intentions, when there are people who are in future custody. He told the snow whether they were going to take anyone.
Once they release a prisoner, communication stops with ice. Cooperation is a two-way road. Transparency is a two-way road, Sheriff McFaden said. “I am still waiting for productive discussions with local ICE officials, the process on which we are in relation to unspecified individuals and how our agency can work more effectively with ice.”
Channel 9 has reached ice for comments.

As Sheriff McFaden’s dispute with ICE continues, state MPs are indicating future participation. House speaker Destin Hall had earlier reported that the channel 9 can get a law. In a post on X, the Chief of Staff of the Speaker Hall retweeted the post and said “Stay up.”
According to the ICE, Napoleon-Serano was excluded twice the first. In 2020, he was removed from the United States after being arrested at Operation Noble Guardian. When investigators arrested those who crossed the border with a child, who were considered a family unit to avoid detention. Ice says the child will be sent back after entering the US. Last month, the Charlotte-Meclainberg Police Department arrested Napoleon-Serano on charges of attacking a deadly weapon, attack on a woman and an attack with domestic violence.
In Sheriff McFaden’s statement, he said that his office was unaware of Napoleon-Serano’s “arrest, encounter or danger level.”
Statement from Sheriff McFaden:
The Meklenburg County Sheriff Office is committed to transparency and valid procedures about handling of individuals in custody, including people with immigration concerns. The recent discussion about the case of Honduras National Napoleon Serano and media inquiry highlights the need for clarity about how the information is shared between local law enforcement and immigration and customs enforcement (ICE).
When a person is arrested, the employees of the Arrest Processing Center asks each and any person, out of which three deal with citizenship. As it belongs to an unspecified person, that information is recorded in a database on DCI/NCIC through a pin message. Essentially, MCSO uses this system to query ice when we cannot determine citizenship. This includes date, time tickets and other relevant details. The Ice is then informed through immigration foreign questions (IAQs). Despite the removal of the 287G program, this process has been the same through previous administration and sheriff.
However, this system does not provide MCSO details about a person’s previous arrest, encounters or levels of danger. There is only that information in snow. He said, when Ice saw the name of Napoleon Serano, he should immediately identify that he had faced him twice before and had prevented him twice. MCSO Serrano is unaware of any state or federal allegations related to the last two exile.
As MCSO is evident in its processes, the agency in turn is expected to level the same level as transparency. Once a detention comes into custody, the ice should clearly understand that they have 48 hours to make a pickup. During that time, MCSO is asking Ice to inform our agency of our intentions, whether they are planning to take a person or allow the person to remain in state charges.
Once they release a prisoner, communication stops with ice. Cooperation is a two-way road. Transparency is a two-way road, Sheriff McFaden said. “I am still waiting for the productive discussion with local ICE officials, the process on which we are in relation to the unspecified individuals and how our agency can work more effectively with snow.”
