MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested 26 people in Minnesota, marking the largest ICE operation in the state since the Trump administration vowed to increase immigration enforcement.

The arrests are part of a broader operation that also resulted in 32 arrests in Nebraska, 23 in Iowa, four in North Dakota and one in South Dakota.

ICE says the operation was routine and targeted those with criminal convictions. It also targeted immigrants who illegally re-entered the U.S. after prior deportations and immigrants with orders for removal — both low priorities under the Obama administration.

Brad Capoch works at Incarnation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, which caters to the Latino community. He tells the Star Tribune (https://strib.mn/2mTSOrO) that aside from the shift in priorities, the operation appeared similar to those under Obama’s administration.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A third person has been imprisoned for the slaying of a Lincoln man last year.

Court records say 23-year-old Elizabeth Reddish was sentenced Wednesday to 3½ years in prison. She’d pleaded no contest to an accessory charge in the slaying of 27-year-old James Carr on Jan. 4, 2016. She also pleaded no contest to a drug charge.

Authorities say Reddish supplied a gun used by Matthew Pavey to kill Carr. Pavey’s been sentenced to 75 years to life in prison. Authorities say the woman who lured Carr to where he was shot, Tiffany Welch, has been given 15 to 20 years in prison.

AUBURN, Neb. (AP) — A former Peru State College basketball player accused of stabbing three other Peru State athletes is scheduled for a May trial.

Court records say 24-year-old Jeffland Neverson, from Brooklyn, New York, has pleaded not guilty to assault, use of a weapon and tampering with evidence — all felonies. His trial is set to begin May 1 in Nemaha County District Court in Auburn.

Authorities say the crimes occurred after a fight broke out Sept. 17 last year about a block from the Peru State stadium in Peru. Several Peru State football and basketball players were involved in the melee. At least three of the athletes required medical treatment.

ROSALIE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a 64-year-old man whose body was found inside a burned home north of Bancroft in Cuming County.

The county attorney identified the man as Ernest Warnock, who lived in rural Rosalie. The cause of his death hasn’t been released.

The investigation into Warnock’s death and the fire on Saturday is continuing. The Nebraska State Patrol has described the home as a crime scene. County Attorney Dan Bracht (brahcht) didn’t immediately return a call Thursday from The Associated Press, seeking more information.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man injured when his pickup truck crashed in Fremont has died in an Omaha hospital.

The Fremont Police Department said in a news release Thursday that 53-year-old Fremont resident Ricky Stolley was injured when his pickup left a roadway and finally stopped when it rammed into a tree around 3:50 p.m. Sunday.

The department says Stolley eventually was transferred to the Omaha hospital, where he died Wednesday.

The crash is being investigated.

RUSHVILLE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 21-year-old South Dakota man has been killed in the Nebraska crash of a sport utility vehicle.

The accident was reported around 4:10 p.m. Tuesday on Nebraska Highway 87, about 10 miles north of Rushville in the Nebraska Panhandle. The Nebraska State Patrol says the SUV driven by 25-year-old William Reddy, of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, went out of control on a curve and rolled.

The patrol says Reddy’s passenger, Michael Hawk, of Pine Ridge, South Dakota, was pronounced dead at the scene. Reddy has been hospitalized in Rapid City, South Dakota.

The crash is being investigated.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say some people helped sheriff’s deputies rescue 13 people from an apartment fire in Lincoln.

Lancaster County Deputy Sheriff Barry Barnett noticed smoke and reported the fire about six blocks southwest of the state Capitol around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday. He grabbed a fire extinguisher from his vehicle and ran toward flaming stairs leading to the second-story apartment.

Two more deputies soon joined him and two nearby men. Barnett says, “We could hear people screaming for help.”

One man aided occupants in the ground-level unit while Barnett battled flames on the stairs. But that escape route was blocked when the flames flared up. Barnett says the second-floor residents then climbed out a window onto a porch roof, where they were helped down to safety.

Two occupants were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.

ORLEANS, Neb. (AP) — An old high school and gymnasium on the southern border of Nebraska has been destroyed in a fire.

Orleans Volunteer Fire Chief Matt Massey said the building is a total loss after the early Tuesday morning. The building had sat vacant for years, and last spring, the south end of the building collapsed after heavy rains.

Massey says the fire was reported around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, and arriving firefighters found the building fully engulfed in flames. Volunteer fire departments from Alma and Stamford were called to help.

No one was injured.

The Nebraska State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
