Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) issued a statement following the announcement by the Department of Homeland Security and the State of Nebraska to expand a facility in McCook, Nebraska for housing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees.
"While the Trump administration has taken great strides to secure our borders, more work remains. Recent arrests in Nebraska of violent gang leaders wanted in El Salvador have shown President Biden’s failure to address the border crisis has impacted more than just border communities. The initial information provided about the McCook facility appears to support these efforts, and I look forward to learning more about this project," Smith said.
Smith is currently serving as a member of Congress representing Nebraska’s 3rd district, a position he has held since 2007 after succeeding Tom Osborne. He previously served in the Nebraska Legislature from 1999 until his election to Congress. Born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1970, Smith resides in Gering and graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln with a bachelor's degree in 1993.
