Bacon Issues Statement on ICE Activities in Omaha

Washington - “We understand people’s concerns for their loved one’s safety and have full confidence and expectations that ICE will operate within their legal authority and treat people with respect. Our office does not receive reports on individual enforcement and removal operations, but we support the rule of law. We encourage anyone with questions and concerns to contact ICE’s toll-free number 888-351-4024. They are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.” -Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02).

In addition, Rep. Bacon’s District Director and Director of Outreach went to the ICE facility and gathered the following information:

• ICE served a civil warrant to one facility only-Glenn Valley Foods
• The warrant was in relation to stolen identities
• ICE verified that Glen Valley Foods complied with E-Verify 100% and is a victim in this as well
• People who may have family members who have been detained can call ICE at 402-536-4861. This number is for family members only.
