Nebraska has announced plans for an immigration detention center in the state’s remote southwest corner as President Donald Trump’s administration races to expand the infrastructure necessary for increasing deportations.

Nebraska is one of multiple states opening detention centers to aid in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Department of Homeland Security to expand detention centers with new "Cornhusker Clink" facility in southwest Nebraska as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.

DHS announced Aug. 19 that it will use a minimum-security prison in southwest Nebraska as an immigration detention facility.

Some of the new centers have already drawn lawsuits and community backlash over conditions, environmental compliance and transparency.

Many in McCook were surprised but supportive of the move to turn a correctional facility into an immigration detention facility.

Nebraska officials announced plans to convert a McCook work camp into an immigration detention center dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink,” part of the Trump administration’s push to expand deportation facilities nationwide.

Michael Coleman, the spokesperson for the governor, told Source that the governor won’t join the tour and also hasn’t decided yet whether she’ll add an ICE detention facility agenda to the special session call.

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.
