Denise Powell and John Cavanaugh can’t be trusted to keep Nebraskans safe

July 11, 2025

New reporting revealed that ICE arrested a MS-13 kingpin from El Salvador in Omaha earlier this week. 

While President Trump and Republicans just passed the largest investment in border security in history, empowering ICE and sending a clear message to the cartels, traffickers, and criminals, out of touch Democrats like Denise Powell and John Cavanaugh continue to push their dangerous open-border agenda.

Denise Powell and John Cavanaugh haven’t condemned calls to doxx, hunt, and harass law enforcement as their Party continues to put criminal illegal immigrants ahead of Americans:

  • Axios reported that the Democrat base is urging its members to be “willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities and federal agencies.
  • “Leader” Hakeem Jeffries has openly threatened to unmask ICE agents, declaring Democrats  will expose their identities “no matter what it takes.”
  • In June, unhinged House Democrats were charged for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement after storming an ICE facility in New Jersey.


“Denise Powell and John Cavanaugh can’t be trusted to keep Nebraskans safe. Their radical anti-law enforcement history and continued push to put criminal illegal immigrants ahead of Nebraskans makes them unfit for public office.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
