Some of the new centers have already drawn lawsuits and community backlash over conditions, environmental compliance and transparency.

A new Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility is set to open soon in McCook, Nebraska. Being called the "Cornhusker Clink," it's a joint partnership between the Department of Homeland Security and the state of Nebraska.

Nebraska Corrections Director Rob Jeffreys said the facility in McCook provides a “central Midwest hub for ICE.” He said surrounding states will be able to use the detention center as well. The 186 inmates currently in the Work Ethic Camp will be moved to other prisons across the state.
