Illegal migrants in Nebraska town bringing 'stress' to schools, public safety
Fremont, Nebraska, City Council member Paul Von Behren shared with Fox & Friends First on Wednesday how the effects of illegal immigration have impacted his community. While far from the southern border, Fremont is debating the influx of migrants, especially those who are working in meat-processing plants in the town.
“I think the primary draw is the cheap labor they provide. They’re basically less educated, less skilled than the average American worker. We’re primarily a meat processing town, so by and large our businesses like to have them here to provide cheap labor, simply,” said Von Behren.

Von Behren also discussed the impact of illegal immigration on crime in Fremont.
“From Fremont, from a public safety standpoint, we’ve had at least three arrests for child rape by known illegals,” the city council member said. “Even in our traffic stats, our DUIs, our no-license, no-insurance, 75 percent of those have been illegals.”
“We’re seeing a lot of stress, frankly, on our schools and public safety and actually it’s beginning to drive taxes up,” he continued.
“The exact costs are difficult [to quantify] but the [increase in] taxes primarily are from all the housing pressure they put on us,” Von Behren said, referring to the increase in illegal migrants in Fremont. “Property taxes in Fremont have been going up at least twice the rate of incomes for the last 15 years. In the last 5 years, those taxes have gone up an additional 25 percent.”

Von Behren was also questioned about President-elect Trump’s plans to deport illegal migrants upon entering office.
“It’s not so much a matter of supporting deportation,” Von Behren said. “It’s a matter of supporting federal law. These people broke the federal law with their first step into this nation by being illegal. It doesn’t matter whether it’s race, it doesn’t matter whether it’s any other factor, they’re here illegally and anyone illegally here deserves to be imported.”
In the weeks before Trump assumes office on Jan. 20, some voters in states like New York have been polled about the president-elect’s deportation plans.
The Siena College New York State Poll found that 54% of respondents say the state should support any Trump administration efforts to deport migrants living illegally in the state, compared to 35% of respondents who oppose the plans.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., says her guest at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was forcibly removed and arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday night.
Omar cited “reports” claiming that software engineer Aliya Rahman was “aggressively handled” as she was forcibly removed from the chamber during Trump’s speech. Omar invited Rahman after she had an altercation with federal agents in Minnesota during “Operation Metro Surge” in January.
“My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct,’” Omar wrote in a statement.
“Reports indicate she was aggressively handled until someone intervened to secure medical attention. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and later booked at the United States Capitol Police headquarters,” she continued.

“The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy. I am calling for a full explanation of why this arrest occurred,” she added.
Fox News reached out to Capitol Police, but they did not immediately respond.
The charge Omar said Rahman faces exposes her to a possible sentence of six months in prison and a fine of up to $500.
“There are only two things you can do at the State of the Union, and they are sit down and stand up,” Rahman told Democracy Now. “I was arrested for standing up.”

The incident comes after Trump deployed border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis last month after several violent and even deadly interactions between anti-ICE agitators and federal law enforcement.
Homan announced the end of “Operation Metro Surge” earlier this month, saying it was no longer necessary thanks to new cooperation from local law enforcement.
“As a result of our efforts here, Minnesota is now less of a sanctuary state for criminals,” Homan said Feb. 12.

Homan clarified that a “small footprint of personnel” would remain for a period of time, and he also remains in Minnesota monitoring the drawdown process.

“Additionally, federal government personnel assigned to conduct criminal investigations into the agitators, as well as the personnel assigned here for the fraud investigations, will remain in place until the work is done,” Homan said at the time.
