“We have an obligation to be present and be in the area, because we’ve seen around the country where these interactions with federal agents can become chaotic and dangerous. We want to make sure we are there to keep the peace and maintain the tranquility of the courthouse and keep everyone safe,” Hanson said. 6 News WOWT reports. However, the fact of the matter is the Douglas County Sheriff is contractually obligate to be at the courthouse and civic center, because they provide daily security of the premises, not because ICE is providing a disservice in law enforcement.

ICE arrests four at Douglas County courthouse before hearings Federal immigration agents arrested four people at the Douglas County Courthouse on Monday morning.

While Congressman Don Bacon, Senator Pete Ricketts, Senator Deb Fischer rush to celebrate a single arrest in Omaha, their support for the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” exposes them as disingenuous.

You cannot claim to protect our communities while voting for legislation that strips resources from working families, criminalizes immigrants, and redistributes wealth to the top. The Big, Beautiful Bill is not about safety—it’s about control, cruelty, and cutting out the people who make Nebraska work.
