U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) has commented on the recent arrest of an MS-13 gang leader in Omaha, Nebraska by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. In a statement released from Washington, D.C., Ricketts said:
“Incredible work by ICE arresting an MS-13 gang member in Omaha today. Biden’s Border Crisis continues to leave Americans vulnerable to crime and criminals. That is a fact. Our ICE and CBP heroes should be heralded for their work to make America safer.”
The arrest highlights ongoing concerns about criminal activity linked to transnational gangs such as MS-13 and the role of federal agencies like ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in addressing these threats.
