The Trump administration is opening its third version of the “Alligator Alcatraz” state-run migrant detention center in Nebraska — this one dubbed the “Cornhusker clink,” The Post has learned.
“Thanks to Governor Pillen for his partnership to help remove the worst of the worst out of our country. If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Nebraska’s Cornhusker Clink,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
The new facility’s opening is all part of the administration’s push to massively expand ICE detention capacity with a goal of holding 100,000 illegal migrants at a single time.
States, private contractors and ICE have announced the opening or expansion of at least 11 facilities for illegal migrants, adding more than 18,000 new beds, according to an analysis by The Post.
ICE currently has roughly 59,000 illegal immigrants in custody as it nears capacity, which stood at 62,000 in April, according to internal data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
