Ricketts Issues Statement on Announcement of McCook ICE Facility
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement after it was announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would construct a 300-bed detention facility in McCook, Nebraska:
"Nebraskans elected President Trump to secure the border and keep Americans safe. I voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill with this goal in mind. I am familiar with the Work Ethic Camp in McCook from my time as Governor. It is a great fit for ICE's needs. This move will support the local community and keep jobs in McCook. I support President Trump's actions to protect our communities and Governor Pillen's work to bring DHS investment to Nebraska."
