In Fremont, Nebraska, a tiny rural town of 27,000, a law barring non-citizens from renting property is under scrutiny as migrants flock to fill jobs at three local meat processing plants. Despite the law aiming to restrict undocumented migrants, the need for workers at these plants is evident, with the city council president stating, "We need these people." Meanwhile, allegations have surfaced regarding Tyson Foods replacing American workers with undocumented migrants, though these claims are contested and labeled as misinformation by several sources.
