Trump Opens New Migrant Detention Center in Nebraska
The US government, under President Trump, has opened a new place called "Cornhusker Clink" in Nebraska to hold people who are not allowed to be in the country.
It is part of a plan to have more detention centers for immigrants.
This new place is designed to hold people waiting to be sent back to their home countries or going through immigration court.
Initially, the facility was to reduce overcrowding in prisons.
The government wants to increase how many people it can hold in these centers overall, with a goal of holding about 100,000 people at once.
