Mayor Jean Stothert and Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer emphasized Tuesday that they don’t want the city’s residents to live in fear of its police officers. Both appeared at a news conference Tuesday afternoon to underscore that OPD policies wouldn’t be changing should federal authorities ramp up enforcement of immigration status in communities across the country.

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.
