BREAKING: Federal immigration raids hitting Omaha

OMAHA — Multiple immigration enforcement operations unfolding throughout Omaha on Tuesday have all local elected Latino leaders out visiting various work sites, some South Omaha businesses shutting their doors for the time being and area residents checking in with each other in a frenzy.

Latino leaders tracking the situation, posting about it on social media and speaking with workers said they had heard of up to a half-dozen worksites where federal immigration agents had visited.

A man trying to get some goods at a South 24th Street store said he worked at Omaha’s Nebraska Beef plant, which he said let him and other employees go home at mid-morning.

Roger Garcia, chairman of the Douglas County board, announced during a county board meeting Tuesday that he had to leave because his community was “being terrorized.”

how they make these decisions on where to go. Wonder about the Doge boys. The two in my area were after one person and were so hostile they made the news. One had the entire neighborhood out of their houses and on the street trying to protect what they couldn't tell was happening. Just hearing the screams of women being man-handled by ICE. They had the humvees blocking off the street, in full costume with their face masks. Very deliberate.

this is a blue state, so there've been more going on, but the two mentioned were in my county. They could have sent one sedan to pick up the one woman, and the other one was a teenager going to a soccer match who was then locked up in a bare cell for a week with nothing but a bunch of men. Crazy.

I suggest contacting Re.p. Bacon and support him in his stand against the Trump insane tariffs
.
I do not agree with most of Pence’s politics and probably do not agree with most of Bacon’s but the Red Line set by Trump/Johnson must be breached by us.

Supporting the Republicans who take a stand is onne way to do this.
