Omaha's Mayor Jean Stothert and other city leaders across the U.S. express concerns over potential federal immigration crackdowns, stating they could foster fear in communities. Local officials from major cities like Chicago, Denver, and New York City have declared they will not assist in immigration enforcement, with some cities prepared to take legal action. Minneapolis police Chief Brian O'Hara highlighted the chilling effects such actions would have on public safety, while Denver's mayor labeled the crackdown a 'calamity'. Schools are also reinforcing their stance by denying ICE access.
"It would have a very chilling effect on our ability to provide public safety in the city if people were afraid to call the Minneapolis police because they think we're going to call Immigration on them."
"Enforcing immigration law is the responsibility of federal law enforcement agencies, not the Omaha police department."
