LINCOLN POLICE CHIEF JOINS OMAHA IN SAYING IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS NOT THEIR ROLE

OMAHA — Police chiefs in Nebraska’s two largest cities said Tuesday they are unaware of any planned immigration raids or other enforcement activities coming to their areas as a result of President Donald Trump’s promised crackdown on illegal immigration.

Furthermore, both the Lincoln and Omaha chief issued bilingual public statements this week to try and assure residents that local officers won’t actively seek out people based on immigration status.

Lincoln Police Chief Michon Morrow said her team wanted to be known for its community-based policing. “We want to assure the community that filing a police report or accessing law enforcement services is not dependent on citizenship or immigration status and can be done so without fear,” she said. “We are dedicated to making sure everyone feels safe and treated with respect when they interact with LPD officers.”
