Fremont immigration task force FREMONT, NE (NET Radio) - This is NET Radio's Morning Edition, I'm Grant Gerlock. Illegal immigration has become a big issue nationwide, but has really come to a head in Fremont in Northeast Nebraska. That's where an anti-immigration ordinance failed in the city council and left residents searching for another solution. I spoke with Bill Ekeler, a Fremont businessman and co-chair of a task force organized to find a local fix to the problem. He told me that illegal immigration has become a very emotional issue in his city. © Copyright 2017, NET Radio
