Nebraska state lawmakers are pushing back against federal immigration enforcement with new legislation that would restrict ICE operations at schools, hospitals, courthouses and other sensitive locations.
Senator Margo Juarez, who represents District 5 including part of South Omaha, is introducing two bills addressing immigration enforcement.
One would prohibit immigration officers from wearing face masks, while another would limit ICE officers' ability to detain individuals in designated "safe" spaces.
They just wanna make sure that schools remain places for learning, that they don't feel schools should be sites for immigration enforcement," Royers said.
The legislation would require federal agents to obtain a judicial warrant before entering these designated safe spaces for immigration enforcementThe bills are still in committee.
