Agents detained people at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha. There were reports of actions at three other locations, but Homeland Security officials said that was not the case.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided an Omaha meatpacking plant on Tuesday morning, sowing fear into the community as advocates and family members attempt to figure out how many people were detained and where they were taken.

    Nebraska is definitely not within 100 miles of a land or sea border, the claimed jurisdiction of ICE. It’s probably about as far as you can get, actually.

    Throw it on the pile.

      IIRC the argument used for this is that since you have to go through customs at an airport for international flights, the airport counts as a “border”.

      Never mind that ICE’s creation in 2003 was to stop human trafficking and terrorists. So they’re already outside of their original designed purpose. Nothing that they are doing is legal.
