In Nebraska, Governor Pete Ricketts has come under fire after saying undocumented workers at meatpacking plants will not be eligible to receive the coronavirus vaccine.

Gov. Pete Ricketts: “You’re supposed to be a legal resident of the country to be able to be working in those plants, so I do not expect that illegal immigrants will be part of the vaccine with that program.”

Workers in meatpacking plants have suffered some of the nation’s worst outbreaks. An estimated 14% or more of Nebraska’s meatpacking workers are undocumented.
