A growing number of cities, states, police departments, school districts and other local governments are signaling they won't cooperate with what Trump administration officials are describing as the largest migrant deportation effort in U.S. history.
"The Omaha police department has no plans to participate in any raids," said Chief Todd Schmaderer, who heads the Omaha, Nebraska police department in a video posted on Youtube. He added that local officers "do not and will not" stop people to check their legal status.
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security say they've launched efforts nationally to identify, detain and deport far more migrants without legal status, including some allowed into the U.S. by the Biden administration. DHS officials also say their agents are now free to conduct raids at churches and schools, canceling guidelines that made "sensitive" areas off-limits.
