Workers detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during a raid at an Omaha meatpacking plant on Tuesday have been transferred from an Omaha-based processing center to a detention facility elsewhere in Nebraska, according to the Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement and a staff member from U.S. Rep.
