“The FBI is supporting ICE and working with all our DOJ partners in immigration enforcement operations across the country,” Eugene Kowel, special agent in charge of the Omaha office, said in a press release. “Assaulting a law enforcement officer engaged in their lawful duties or damaging government property is not protected under the First Amendment — it is a criminal offense which we will investigate and apprehend those responsible. As part of our newly formed Homeland Security Task Force, we are working with our partners to protect our community by eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations operating in Nebraska and Iowa.”
