ICE detains workers at Omaha meat plant, drawing hundreds of protesters: What we know
An immigration raid at an Omaha meat-packing plant June 10 prompted protests after dozens of workers were detained. The raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted Glenn Valley Foods, which said it was surprised by the raid and had followed the rules regarding immigration status, Reuters reported. Federal agents executed a search warrant at 9 a.m., and a busload of workers was driven away to an unknown destination, according to the Omaha World-Herald. The activity led to protests involving hundreds of people who gathered along nearby streets. The Department of Homeland Security said in a June 10 X post that the raid was the "largest worksite enforcement operation" in Nebraska under the Trump administration. Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr., who only took office this week, said his office confirmed about 80 people were detained as a result of the raid, KOLN reported. U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, whose district includes Omaha, said in a news release that his office learned ICE served a civil warrant at only one facility in the city, Glenn Valley Foods, and it was related to stolen identities. Bacon's statement also indicates Glenn Valley Foods complied with E-Verify, a federal database that allows employers to check employees' immigration status. 'We understand people's concerns for their loved one's safety and have full confidence and expectations that ICE will operate within their legal authority and treat people with respect," Bacon said. "Our office does not receive reports on individual enforcement and removal operations, but we support the rule of law." Glenn Valley Foods president Chad Hartmann told Reuters that the plant uses E-Verify. Hartmann, though, also told the news outlet that when he said that to a federal agent, the agent responded, "The system is broken," and told him to contact his local congressional representative. Douglas County Commissioner Roger Garcia left a regularly scheduled board meeting June 10 after he learned about the raid, WOWT reported. Omaha is the largest city in Douglas County. Garcia said in a June 10 Facebook post that he was still working to get more information about the raid. "I know many want to help right now, which is awesome, appreciated and welcome," he said. "We are telling friends and allies to stand by momentarily as we continue to gather and verify information and coordinate proper guidance for families affected." The ACLU of Nebraska said in a June 10 post on X that it was "watching this situation closely and working with partners to inform next steps." "Regardless of our immigration status, all of us have rights and all of us belong," the X post says.

State house bill restricting speed camera use passes with a vote of 7-5
On Monday, the Louisiana House Transportation, Highways, and Public Works Committee approved a bill designed to limit the use of speed cameras throughout the state. Republican Senator Stewart Cathey's SB 99 was passed by the House Transportation, Highways, and Public Works Committee on a 7-5 vote. The bill would the limit of use automated traffic enforcement devices across the state. Specifically, SB 99 would ban red light cameras statewide and limit speed enforcement cameras to designated school zones during specified hours. KNOE 8 News reported that Cathey has been working to ban automated speed cameras in Louisiana, believing that the devices are unfair to Louisiana, seeing them as a "money grab." He stated that speeding tickets issued by speed enforcement devices are also not enforceable. 'There are zero consequences to not paying a speed camera ticket," Cathey stated in the interview. "It cannot go on your credit. They cannot arrest you. They can't put a lien on anything. Cannot suspend your driver's license. There are no repercussions if you choose not to pay." Shreveport Democratic Representatives Steven Jackson, Tammy Phelps, and Joy Walters are members of the House Transportation Committee. Jackson voted to advance the bill, while Democratic Shreveport Representatives Joy Walters and Tammy Phelps voted against it. The bill has been referred to the Legislative Bureau.

Family of woman seen dragged from police cruiser calling for justice
The family of a Smiths Falls, Ont., woman is demanding justice after a video surfaced online that appears to show the woman being dragged from a police cruiser and held to the ground after her arrest. The video, posted anonymously on social media, appears to show one of the officers dragging the handcuffed woman by her left leg from the back seat of Smiths Falls Police Service cruiser parked at a crosswalk. The officer then appears to pin the woman to the ground for about 20 seconds before pulling her to her feet and pushing her back into the car. Sarah Black, who told CBC she's the sister of the woman in the video, said she and her parents were distraught after seeing it. "It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch," Black told CBC. According to Smiths Falls police, the 29-year-old woman was arrested after officers were called to a business on Main Street E. where she was allegedly causing a disturbance, including acting belligerently and throwing a table against a wall. The same woman was suspected in an alleged assault that had occurred earlier that evening at a different location. Police said the woman was arrested and placed in the back of the cruiser where she began spitting and kicking a Plexiglas divider. The woman is facing one count each of causing a disturbance and uttering threats, and two counts each of mischief under $5,000, assaulting police and failure to comply with probation. She was scheduled to appear in court in Perth, Ont., on Wednesday. McKenzie LeClair has now come forward as the woman who captured the incident on video from a nearby window. "When I started recording I thought it was just going to be like any other arrest, and then I [saw] how the police officer handled her and my stomach just dropped," she said. LeClair posted the video on Facebook where it quickly gained traction and sparked outrage among some members of the local community. Black, who lives in California, said she heard about it from her mother. The family isn't contesting the woman's arrest, Black said, but they do want the police officers involved to be held accountable for how they handled the situation. "There is no reason that that kind of force was necessary in that scenario," said Black. Black explained her sister is a "complex person" who has a history of mental health and substance use issues that her family has been trying to help her manage for many years. "My sister needs help, not more trauma, and officers clearly need better training for mental health intervention if this is how they behave in these kinds of situations," Black said. "The officer should be ashamed." Smiths Falls police Chief Jodi Empey confirmed in a statement that she has been made aware of the video circulating on social media. Empey said both officers who appear in the video have been placed on administrative duties pending an investigation, which will be handled by a different police service. "We have determined this matter to be an institutional conflict and therefore must refer it to another police service for investigation," Empey said. Smiths Falls police would not confirm which service will investigate the incident, and said Empey would not be commenting further. Black said she and her family are awaiting the results of that investigation. "We want accountability — proper accountability including a full and fair investigation — and if found in the wrong, we want the officer or officers responsible to be charged or fired if necessary," she said.
