Federal immigration raid at Omaha food production plant sparks protests
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Immigration authorities raided at least one Omaha food production plant Tuesday morning, inspiring some small protests, but details about how many workers were affected weren't immediately clear. Omaha police and the Douglas County sheriff said immigration officials had warned them about their plans, and their departments helped block off traffic around the neighborhood where many food production plants are located while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers worked. ICE officials didn't immediately respond to questions. Meatpacking plants rely heavily on immigrant workers who are willing to do the physically demanding work. The industry has not yet been the focus of President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, but the administration has been intensifying its efforts in recent weeks. Trump called out the National Guard this week to respond to ongoing protests in Los Angeles over his immigration policies. In Omaha, a small group of people came out to protest the raids, and some of them even jumped on the front bumper of a vehicle to try to stop officers. Glenn Valley Foods officials didn't immediately respond to an inquiry from The Associated Press, but WOWT reported that CEO and owner Gary Rohwer said he wasn't made aware of the operation ahead of time and that there was no warrant. 'Of course not. It's a raid,' said Rohwer, whose company makes the Gary's QuickSteak brand of ready-to-grill steak. Federal agents entered the plant around 9 a.m. Tuesday with a list of 97 people they wanted to screen, Rohwer said. He said the company regularly checks the immigration status of employees with the federal E-Verify database. The raids prompted one Douglas County Commissioner to walk out in the middle of a meeting Tuesday to head down to the area he represents in southeast Omaha where the plants are located. Commissioner Roger Garcia and City Councilman Ron Hug both expressed concern about the impact of the raids on families. 'These actions are deeply harmful to the South Omaha community,' Hug said in a statement. 'Not only are they unjust and disruptive, but they also directly undermine the economic stability and growth of District 4 and the broader community.' Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said his agency is 'not privy to the exact nature of the ICE operation' but that his agency is there to assist with assuring 'peace and safety' of everyone in the area. Asked when he learned of the operation, he said his department received 'respectful and ample notification.' He says he got the notification about a week ago.

ICE sparks uproar after storming child's birthday, believing it was a dangerous Tren de Aragua gang assembly
A lot of people were arrested, even kids, but none of them were gang members, and the raid ended up turning the celebration into a nightmare. For months, Trump, border czar Tom Homan, and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller have been deporting as many individuals as they can while ICE has been subjecting innocent people to traumatising arrests. Multitudes were upset, scared, and confused during the raid, which led to a lot of criticism of ICE and the ways the Trump administration does things. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Düsseldorf: Geheime Methode gegen Arthrose im Knie Wellnee Mehr erfahren Undo Why did ICE raid the birthday party? Federal immigration officers break up a birthday party on the grounds that it was a Tren de Aragua gathering. Their claims are still unsupported by any evidence. Apparently, none of them were in a gang or had a history of crime. ALSO READ: $1,000 for every baby? Trump rallies Dell, Uber & others to offer bonus — but only if his Beautiful Bill passes Live Events The Trump administration arrested dozens of people at five in the morning during a raid in Texas in March, as per a report by New Republic. Who was actually arrested? Two months later, according to The Texas Tribune, the "Tren de Aragua gathering" they busted was actually a birthday party, and none of the individuals they detained had any criminal histories or even gang affiliations. It is unclear whether all of the 47 people who were arrested, including nine children, were present at the birthday celebration. The Texas police and ICE officers who conducted the raid on the birthday celebration even threatened the families and their kids by attacking them with flash grenades. One of the arrested men claimed that he was celebrating his son's fifth birthday and his best friend's 28th birthday at a house they rented for the weekend when "we all started shouting that there were babies—'Babies, there's babies,'" he said, as quoted in a report by New Republic.

What's the fallout from this incident? The Tribune named 35 Venezuelans who are in custody, although ICE has declined to provide their names. Some were released with ankle monitors after weeks of ICE detention. Due to missing too many days of school, one of the kids was even expelled from school. In order to prevent future incidents, Muzaffar Chishti, head of the Migration Policy Institute, stressed the significance of challenging charges against suspected gang members. He maintained that if the accused member is denied the opportunity to challenge the claims, the subsequent individual will likewise suffer the same outcome. FAQs Was anyone at the party involved in a gang? No, ICE found no gang affiliations or criminal records for any of the individuals who were arrested. Why did ICE believe it was a gang gathering? They responded to a false tip and profiled guests based on tattoos and heritage.

Naxalites resort to cowardly acts out of frustration, says CM Sai
Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday paid tribute to Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Akash Rao Girepunje, who was killed in an IED blast in Sukma district. The emotional wreath-laying ceremony was held at the 4th Battalion of Chhattisgarh Armed Forces (CAF) in Mana area, where officials and hundreds of citizens gathered to pay their respects. CM Sai, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Sharma and Arun Sao, state assembly speaker Raman Singh, and various ministers, participated in the ceremony. CM expressed his certainty that Naxalism, which claimed the officer's life, is on its last legs and will soon be eradicated. Girepunje, 42, was killed and two officers injured when an IED planted by Naxalites exploded in Konta, Sukma. The officer's family, including his wife, parents, and two minor children, were present. His 7-year-old son bowed to the mortal remains with folded hands, and a relative carried his 6-year-old daughter in his arms. After the ceremony, Girepunje's body was taken in a flower-decked mini-truck for last rites at Mahadev Ghat, with hundreds following the procession, chanting slogans in tribute to the slain officer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo At the crematorium, his 7-year-old son lit the funeral pyre, a moment that deeply moved those present.

Deputy chief minister Vijay Sharma, who also holds the Home portfolio, praised Girepunje's bravery and commitment to his duty. He recalled that Girepunje had vowed to stay in Sukma until the Naxal threat in the region was completely eliminated.

The IG said that the police would not rest until Naxalism is completely removed from Bastar. "The sacrifice of Akash Rao and other martyrs will not go in vain. Their legacy will continue to inspire our mission for peace, prosperity, and progress," he said. Final Farewell to the Martyr Akash Rao Girepunje, originally from Raipur, had served as ASP of Konta for over a year and had previously been honoured with a gallantry medal for his dedication to the fight against Naxalism. His family was preparing to celebrate his daughter's birthday, which falls on Wednesday, but the tragic loss has shattered those plans. The ceremony was marked by emotional scenes, as the community and officials from across the state paid their respects to a fallen hero committed to safeguarding the people of Bastar. In a show of solidarity, locals in Konta region have expressed anguish over IED blasts and residents have called for Dornapal 'bandh' on Wednesday. Traders and businessmen on Tuesday plan to carry out candle march late Tuesday and a tribute ceremony was also held.
