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.”
