Lawmakers are debating a bill that would burden abortion care providers and threaten access in Nebraska. Providers say LB 632 is essentially a backdoor abortion ban. Lawmakers need to stay out of personal health care decisions.

In recent years, Nebraska state senators have passed two bills containing protections for Indigenous students who choose to wear tribal regalia.

While the executive order remains temporarily blocked under an order issued by a judge who called it “blatantly unconstitutional” last month, litigation continues with three federal hearings scheduled this week.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Maria Reynosa Jacinto in the June 2025 Omaha Glenn Valley Foods worksite raid. In July, an Omaha immigration court judge set Reynosa Jacinto’s bond at $9,000. When the Prairielands Freedom Fund tried to post bond for her, they learned ICE had issued an automatic stay on her release, blocking her bond from being posted. Reyosa Jacinto v. Trump argued that ICE's automatic stay unlawfully violated the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and extended beyond ICE’s authority by overriding an immigration court judge’s individualized decision on bond, making any considerations of danger or flight risk meaningless, and allowing lengthy and potentially indefinite detention. A judge sided with our client, ruling that she was being held unlawfully and must be released on bond.
