While Omaha print and television reporters stood outside the Glenn Valley Foods meatpacking plant on Tuesday as federal agents searched for workers with improper immigration documents, a camera crew from a Chicago-based news service accompanied officials inside.

Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided the food packaging plant and transported a busload of workers from the plant to an unknown destination. The raid was documented by NewsNation, an American cable news network owned by Nexstar Media Group.

NewsNation's coverage boasted of having "an exclusive" on the multiagency operation that it said was comprised of "about 70 officers and agents from ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, IRS Criminal Investigations, the DEA and U.S. Marshals."

Video from the NewsNation purports to show workers attempting to avoid arrest by hiding, including in walk-in freezers with subzero temperatures. The report said medical personnel from the Omaha Fire Department were asked "to respond and check individuals for health and safety concerns."
