ICE Raid in Omaha: Over 100 Workers Detained at Food Plant

ICE Raid at Omaha Food Plant Detains Over 100 Workers Omaha, Nebraska - A large-scale ICE raid at the Glenn Valley Foods plant in south Omaha on June 11, 2025, resulted in the detention of more than 100 workers. The raid, confirmed by local media and Omaha Mayor John Ewing, sparked immediate reactions from community members and immigration advocates. Videos circulating on social media show ICE agents entering the employee breakroom and workers being led away in handcuffs. Mayor Ewing stated in a press release: "The city does not enforce immigration laws; that is the responsibility of the federal government. The Omaha Police Department's policy is not, and I repeat, not to determine a person's immigration status." The raid underscores the significant reliance of meatpacking plants on immigrant labor. The long-term effects on both the workers and the plant remain to be seen. ICE officials have not yet commented on the specifics of the operation.
