Nebraska is partnering with the Department of Homeland Security to expand an immigration detention facility.

The facility will be known as the Cornhusker Clink and is located at the Work Ethic Camp in McCook, Nebraska.

Under the agreement, detention space will be expanded by 280 beds, DHS said. The expansion is funded through the One Beautiful Bill Act.

I am pleased that our facility and team in McCook can be tasked with helping our federal partners protect our homeland by housing criminal illegal aliens roaming our countrys communities today," said Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen. "I am also proud that the Nebraska State Patrol and National Guard will be assisting ICE enforcement efforts, as well."
