ICE busted more than 100 illegal alien workers in a workplace raid at a Nebraska meat packing plant, drawing ire from protesters who pelted federal vehicles with rocks.
The federal law enforcement agency carried out the largest raid in the state since President Donald Trump took office at Omaha’s Glenn Valley Foods on Tuesday.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and federal law enforcement partners, executed a federal search warrant at Glenn Valley Foods, today, based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the large-scale employment of aliens without authorization to work in the United States,” ICE said.

“The worksite enforcement operation is likely the largest to take place in Nebraska since the start of the current presidential administration, which has prioritized immigration enforcement efforts and strengthened focus on border security. The investigation is ongoing,” the federal law enforcement agency went on to say.
Left-wing protesters gathered at the packing plant as federal agents made the arrests, with some agitators even throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles and attempting to prevent them from leaving, blocking the street and jumping on top of the cars.
One legal worker at the meat packing plant told local media that many of those arrested by federal authorities are from Guatemala and the Mexican state of Guerrero, located to the south of Mexico City.

The company’s CEO said that he attempted to authenticate the legal status of his employees through the E-Verify system, with a report indicating that the illegal aliens used fake documents or stole the identities of American citizens.
The Trump administration has cracked down on the employment of illegal aliens across the country. ICE arrested more than three dozen illegal aliens at a roofing company in Washington state near the Canadian border. An ICE spokesman said that the illegal aliens at the company “fraudulently represented their immigration status and submitted fraudulent documents.”
The federal agency carried out an enforcement operation at a bakery in southern Texas near the border in February, arresting eight illegal aliens and the two business owners, who federal agents say knowingly harbored and employed the illegal aliens.
The administration announced in April that it had arrested 1,000 illegal workers across the nation and proposed roughly $1 million in fines against businesses that employed illegal aliens. Homeland Security Investigations noted that it had subpoenaed the records of approximately 1,200 businesses as part of the agency’s sweeping investigation into illegal labor.
