flag A Nebraska judge has allowed the state to proceed with converting the McCook Work Ethic Camp into an ICE detention center, rejecting a request to halt the project while a lawsuit challenging its legality continues. flag The ruling by Judge Patrick Heng affirms Governor Jim Pillen’s authority to enter the contract with federal immigration authorities, citing broad state powers over correctional facilities. flag The facility, expected to open by November 1, will house up to 300 low-level, non-violent immigrants under a contract guaranteeing nearly $29.5 million annually in federal payments. flag While the lawsuit will proceed, the state may now move forward with operations, including construction of a fence and staffing, despite local opposition over lost community benefits and concerns about the facility’s impact.
