Correction:
MUSCLE callsign should be MUSSEL and are UH-1's. Not Blackhawks. The
OMAHA helos I believe were the Blackhawks. Can anyone confirm?

OMAHA -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

--
1st Helicopter Squadron (UH-1 Helicopters)
Helicopter flights are identified as MUSSEL-XX (2 digits).

Thanks Ron.
