Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has taken decisive action ahead of anticipated far-left protests targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this weekend — including potential disruptions at the College World Series in Omaha.

Governor Pillen announced on X Friday that he has issued an emergency proclamation and authorized the deployment of the Nebraska National Guard and State Patrol if necessary to combat any civil unrest spurred by the anti-ICE agitators.

The protests, driven by far-left activist groups and open borders extremists, have reportedly been planned to coincide with the College World Series in Omaha — one of the most celebrated events in collegiate sports.

“With thousands of families, students, and tourists expected to attend, the governor emphasized his top priority: protecting life, property, and public safety.

As a precaution in anticipation of anti-ICE protests across Nebraska this weekend, including at the College World Series, I have issued an emergency proclamation and the appropriate orders to activate Nebraska National Guard and State Patrol personnel if necessary to address any civil disturbance.

Free speech will be respected and protected in Nebraska, but the lawlessness, chaos, and rioting seen in other cities in past weeks will not be tolerated here. I have taken the necessary steps to ensure we have the state resources necessary to promptly respond to disorder. Any person who poses a threat to life, health, or property will be arrested. Nebraskans across the state, as well as the thousands of visitors to Omaha for the College World Series, can rest assured that the State of Nebraska and our local partners have taken the appropriate steps to ensure security and order.

My team and I will remain in continuous contact with National Guard, State Patrol, and @NEMAtweets leaders in the coming days as we monitor developments and respond accordingly.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe has activated the National Guard and declared a state of emergency in response to the anti-ICE riots and violent uprisings taking place all over the country.
The order was issued ahead of a nationwide day of protests being organized by multiple far-left and liberal organizations.

Gov. Kehoe signed Missouri Executive Order 25-25 on Thursday, which states, “the rule of law must be maintained in the cities of Kansas City, Springfield, St. Louis, and other affected communities, in the State of Missouri, for the protection, safety, welfare, and property of the citizens, visitors, and businesses of those communities.”

“We respect, and will defend, the right to peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence or lawlessness in our state,” Gov. Kehoe said.

Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,’ United Airlines said in a statement to The Daily Mail.

CBS News reported:

There is a ground stop for United Airlines flights at Chicago O’Hare Airport Wednesday evening.

United said in a statement that a “technology issue” is causing them to hold departures.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.

“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.

Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.

“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.

“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.

Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”

WATCH:

The State Department responded to the O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover video exposing Choi.

“The incident is under investigation. The Department has zero tolerance for individuals who jeopardize national security by putting their personal interests ahead of our great nation,” the State Department said in a statement.

Later Wednesday, Daniel Choi deleted his LinkedIn profile after OMG’s undercover video exposing his relationship with the a CCP leader’s daughter.
