Nebraska Democratic Party Statement on ICE Detention Center in McCook -
LINCOLN, NE - The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb and Communications Director José Flores, Jr. issued the following statements following the announcement by Nebraska Republicans that McCook, Nebraska, will be an ICE immigrant detention center authorized by the Trump Administration:
“Nebraskans will hold Jim Pillen accountable by voting him out of office for the disgusting move of creating the ‘Cornhusker Clink.’ Pillen and Trump have thrown due process out the window, all to appease their base. They promised to go after criminals and instead have locked up hardworking moms and dads who contribute their skills to our agricultural economy. We are running Democratic candidates who believe in due process and who will fix the broken immigration process. We can allow families who are now part of our communities to be full citizens. Creating fear and division is the Trump way, but does not have to be the Cornhusker way.” - Jane Kleeb, NDP Chair
“In the most shameless move by Governor Pillen and Nebraska Republicans, McCook, Nebraska, will be the site of our version of Alagator Alcatraz. The community will most certainly struggle with the closure of its local hospital and will now have to deal with ICE agents instilling daily fear. The ICE detention facility is yet another ‘bend the knee’ moment by top Republicans in Nebraska. The majority of Nebraskans do not support a concentration camp anywhere in our state. Democrats want safe borders, but unlike our Republican counterparts, support the humane and respectful detainment of immigrants that includes due process.” - José Flores, Jr., NDP Communications Director
