Overview

• ICE and federal partners executed a warrant at Glenn Valley Foods on June 10, detaining between 70 and 100 workers suspected of using fraudulent documents.
• The Homeland Security Department labeled the action the largest worksite enforcement operation in Nebraska under President Trump’s administration.
• Glenn Valley Foods leaders said they relied on the federal E-Verify system but were told by agents that the program failed to detect false IDs.
• Protesters blocked ICE vehicles, hurled rocks and tried to obstruct officers as Douglas County officials warned of harm to families and community stability.
• The raid has forced the plant to run at reduced capacity, and ICE has offered guidance on best hiring practices to prevent future violations.
