The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday the opening of an immigration detention center in Nebraska, as the administration of President Donald Trump continues the expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention capabilities.

The partnership of DHS and Nebraska is the third state ICE has partnered with, following Alligator Alcatraz in Miami and Speedway Slammer in Indiana, and the new facility will be nicknamed the Cornhusker Clink, according to a DHS statement.

“Cornhusker Clink” is a play on Nebraska’s official nickname, the “Cornhusker State,” and an old slang term for a jail. The name follows the previously announced “Alligator Alcatraz” and “Deportation Depot” detention centers in Florida, and “Speedway Slammer” in Indiana. Officials said they will use an existing minimum-security prison labor camp in McCook, located about 210 miles west of Lincoln. DHS posted an image on social media showing ears of corn wearing Immigration and Customs Enforcement caps in front of a prison fence. The new center will have 280 beds for immigrant detainees and is part of an 800,000-bed program ICE is implementing following the passage of President Donald Trump’s fiscal and budget law that was passed by Congress in July. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem thanked Nebraska Republican Gov. Jim Pillen for making the space for the new jail facility available to "to be able to bring out the worst in our country."

DHS added that the state of Nebraska is willing to sign an agreement for State Patrol officers to join ICE agents in conducting joint immigration enforcement operations.

In addition,Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has ordered the Nebraska National Guard to provide administrative and logistical support to ICE officials in the state to enforce immigration laws. Approximately 20 Army National Guard soldiers will participate in the mission, with training to begin next week, according to DHS. “I am also proud that the Nebraska State Patrol and National Guard will also be assisting with ICE enforcement efforts,” Pillen said. “National security begins at home, and just as I twice deployed troops to secure our southern border during the failed Biden administration, Nebraska will continue to do its part.”

The Trump administration has continued to expand detention facilities across the country to make it easier to hold arrested migrants.

DHS opened the “Alligator Alcatraz” facility in the Florida Everglades last month and a detention center in eastern Montana in El Paso, Texas, this week.

DHS will also detain up to 1,000 migrants at the “Speedway Slammer” detention center in Indiana.

The Trump administration has accelerated the detention of immigrants across the country, and official data indicates that 59,380 people are currently inside ICE detention centers.
