ICE: Most detained Glenn Valley Foods workers being held, processed in North Platte facility
Immigration agents converge on Glenn Valley Foods Tuesday for an immigration raid. (Courtesy of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) OMAHA — The bulk of the nearly 80 workers detained in a high-profile June 10 immigration raid at a food plant in Omaha are at the Lincoln County Jail in North Platte, according to a Saturday update from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. More than 60 are at the Lincoln County facility pending further proceedings, a statement said. Three Mexican natives here without proper legal status signed paperwork to voluntarily return to their home country. Three workers from Guatemala were transferred to Alexandria, Louisiana, in preparation for their removal from the country. Among them, one has a final order of removal that had been issued in 2019, one has been removed from the country on four previous occasions and another has three DUIs and one illegal reentry conviction, according to an ICE statement. Mark Zito, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Kansas City, a jurisdiction that covers Omaha, again pushed back on what he called a false narrative — that 'these are just hardworking immigrants looking for the American dream.' Zito called that 'ludicrous.' 'These crimes have lasting effects,' he said, saying the 'real victims' may be left to deal with years of frustration trying to restore their identities. ICE has said the raid at Glenn Valley Foods was predicated on the suspicion that many workers at the plant used stolen or fraudulent identification to gain employment. The raid was highly publicized, as federal officials also allowed a national news outlet into the plant to video it. The raid set off several anti-ICE and Trump administration protests in Omaha, including one Friday near the NCAA men's College World Series. Organizers of that march and rally, which drew several hundred people, wanted a national backdrop to let their message be heard. Saturday, Nebraska and Iowa 'No Kings' rallies and others across the country protested what they call authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.

'Politics was never brought into this neighbourhood': Minnesota community stunned by murders
The calm of an affluent cul-de-sac, north of Minneapolis, has been shattered. Yellow tape, establishing a police cordon, now marks it as the scene of a double murder. Former state speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were gunned down in their own home in the early hours of Saturday. The gardens in this street are immaculately manicured but John Sampson is tending his again, a distraction tactic perhaps. He knew the murdered couple well. His daughter was their babysitter. "Very kind, very neighbourly, very intelligent," he recalls. Of Ms Hortman, he said: "She would know other people that were on the other side of the aisle, but it didn't matter to her. "Politics was never brought into the neighbourhood." Other neighbours remained behind closed doors, where they had initially been ordered to shelter following two gun attacks. Long-standing state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette had been shot and wounded in their home. Police officers sent to check on his Democratic colleague, Melissa Hortman, were too late. They encountered a man disguised as a police officer leaving her home and exchanged fire with him, but he escaped, sparking a manhunt. Minnesota governor Mike Walz, who ran for vice president last year, described the murders as "politically motivated". That's something the residents of this suburban network of streets find hard to comprehend. "Nationally and stuff, things are very volatile in the political scene and I just pray that it's not here," John Sampson told me. "I hoped it would never come anywhere near here, that anyone has to go through this type of tragedy." "I feel very sad for the children and for the family left behind," he added. Read more from Sky News:Trooping the Colour - see best pics Ms Hortman was a Democrat but voted with Republicans last Thursday to get a budget bill through. The compromise was painful for her - withholding free healthcare from undocumented migrants. Speaking afterwards, she tearfully explained: "I know that people will be hurt by that vote, and we worked very hard to get a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision." Whatever the motivation for the murders of the politician and her husband, two children have lost both their parents. And gun violence has claimed more lives in a deeply polarised America.
