Nebraska Lawmaker BLOCKED From Visiting ICE Prison in McCook | Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh

Dec 10, 2025 |

Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh joins the show to discuss being twice denied entry to the ICE detention facility in McCook… despite state law granting legislators access to correctional facilities at any time. Cavanaugh outlines what happened during her attempted visit, why she believes the governor’s administration is obstructing legislative oversight, and what this means for transparency, detainee treatment, and the separation of powers in Nebraska government. She also weighs in on the fate of the former work ethic camp, prison overcrowding, and the growing tension between the legislature and the Pillen administration ahead of a difficult budget session.
