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

The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced the opening of a new immigrant detention facility in Nebraska, dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink,” as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to expand deportation operations nationwide.

An existing minimum security prison work camp in southwest Nebraska will be used as a new immigration detention facility.
