Nebraska, ICE and immigration detention
Digest more
Nebraska Republican Gov. Jim Pillen announced plans Tuesday for an immigration detention center in a farming area in the state's southwest corner.
This state’s version of the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” federal immigration detention center is being created in the roughly 7,500-resident city of McCook, Gov. Jim Pillen confirmed. His announcement Tuesday was part of a multi-pronged push to support the Trump administration and U.
The facility will be dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink,” a play on Nebraska’s nickname of the Cornhusker State and an old slang term for jail.
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said the new detention facility will hold migrants who are "threats," but ICE has detained people with little to no criminal history.
