In response to potential protests surrounding immigration issues, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has activated the National Guard as a precautionary measure. The activation follows an emergency proclamation aimed at preparing for demonstrations linked to recent ICE operations, including a significant raid. Protests are planned near the College World Series in Omaha, where demonstrators are expected to voice their opposition to current immigration policies. Local authorities, including the Omaha Police Department, are enhancing security measures and emphasizing the importance of public safety during the events. Mayor Ewing has also addressed First Amendment rights in relation to the protests, underscoring the importance of peaceful expression amidst heightened tensions.
