ICE raids Omaha meat plant, shocking video shows protestors throwing rocks, jumping on moving car
Protesters clashed with officers during an ICE raid at a meat plant in Omaha. After the ICE raid at the Omaha meat production plant resulted in the detainment of dozens of workers, protestors threw rocks and jumped on officers' vehicles. The Associated Press reported that the raid was conducted at Glenn Valley Foods in south Omaha around 9 am on Sunday.
A Fox News report said more than 70 workers were detained by ICE for being illegal aliens in the United States.
ICE officials told the AP the raid was "based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the large-scale employment of aliens without authorization to work in the United States" and that it was likely the largest "worksite enforcement operation" in Nebraska since President Donald Trump took office.
The ICE raid led to a small protest at the meat production plant in Omaha. Shocking footage shared online shows one person jumping on a moving vehicle to stop officers.
'A small group of people came out to protest the raid, and some of them even jumped on the front bumper of a vehicle to try to stop officers in one location while others threw rocks at officials' vehicles as a white bus carrying workers pulled away from a plant,' the AP report stated.
Another video shows protesters throwing rocks at the convoy carrying the detainees away from the plant.
Gary Rohwer, CEO and owner of Glenn Valley Foods, told WOWT that he was not informed about the raid ahead of time. He also claimed that ICE officials had no warrant.
Rohwer told reporters that he was not worried about facing any government action as all his workers are verified.'We E-Verify 100% all of the employees,' he said.
E-Verify is the federal database used to check the immigration status of employees. When Chad Hartmann, president of the company, said as much to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who carried out the raid, they told him the E-Verify system 'is broken.'

The president has begun tearing down the historic Rose Garden to create a more "functional" space that echoes the aesthetic of his private Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. President Donald Trump is transforming the iconic White House Rose Garden into a Mar-a-Lago-style patio with two towering flagpoles. Critics argue that the historic lawn is being erased in favor of Trump's personal style and agenda.

Vandalism at Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh attack on India's civilisational heritage: BJP
A mob attacked and vandalised the ancestral home of Nobel laureate Tagore in Bangladesh's Sirajganj district on Tuesday. Addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra called for global denunciation of the incident targeting the legacy of the iconic Indian personality as he described it as a 'preplanned' attack orchestrated by Islamic groups. New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) The BJP on Thursday condemned the interim government in Bangladesh for the vandalism at Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in that country, slamming it as an assault on the very soul of India's rich cultural and civilizational heritage. Patra cited media reports to say that Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefazat-e-Islam were behind the attack, noting that Tagore is an iconic symbol of Bengal, and Indian culture and civilisation. He also slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for not raising the issue, alleging that she saw infiltrators from the neighbouring Bangladesh as a vote bank and has opted to keep quiet for political reasons. 'She is driven by vote bank politics. We are driven by cultural politics,' Patra said. The interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus has not taken any action, and its conduct has not been appropriate, Patra said. He appealed to the world community to come together against it, adding that his party believes in inclusivity. 'The Bharatiya Janata Party, which stands firmly by the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' issues a global appeal that all nations that uphold the values of morality, cultural integrity, creativity, and civilizational harmony must come together in unequivocal condemnation of this heinous act,' he said. The BJP strongly feels that India's culture and civilization, which stretches beyond national boundaries, has come under attack in Bangladesh. Patra said Tagore, who is called Gurudev out of respect for his immense contribution in different fields, created many of memorable works in this ancestral home, known as Kachharibari. It is also a government museum to respect his legacy. The BJP MP noted that he not only wrote India's national anthem but also that of Bangladesh, which has seen a surge in the activities of Islamic hardlines following the deposition of Sheikh Hasina last year.
