Nebraska Confirms 'Cornhusker Clink' ICE Detention Center Opens Nov. 1

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen’s office says the McCook ICE detention center—repurposed from the state’s Work Ethic Camp—will be operational by Nov. 1. The move advances a broader trend of converting state correctional facilities for federal immigration detention. Officials have released limited details despite FOIA requests and legislative inquiries, raising oversight and building-code questions.
