Des Moines, Iowa (RI) — Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird says she’s encouraged by the move to have more FBI agents working out of regional offices. Two weeks ago, FBI director Kash Patel met in the Omaha field office with Bird and other law enforcement officials from Iowa and Nebraska.
Patel’s visit came shortly after federal officials announced five people who own, operate, and manage hotels in the Omaha area had been arrested and 27 victims of human trafficking had been rescued – including 10 children.
