The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the opening of a migrant detention facility in Nebraska, known as Cornhusker Clink, as President Trump’s administration expands Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) detention capabilities. The facility, located in the southwest part of the state, will house “criminal illegal aliens” arrested by ICE. The expansion comes as a result of a partnership between the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and ICE, expanding the capacity by up to 280 beds. The officials are using the existing minimum security prison work camp in McCook, located around 210 miles west of Lincoln. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the new partnership with Nebraska will expand detention bed space by 280 beds. The administration has continued adding detention buildings nationwide to help hold migrants whom agencies have arrested. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced that the Nebraska National Guard will provide administrative and logistical support to ICE officials based in Nebraska to help enforce immigration laws. About 20 Army National Guard soldiers will be part of the mission, with training beginning next week.
