Nebraska State Senator Margo Juarez joins the show to discuss her opposition to the proposed ICE detention facility in McCook—dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink”—calling for “policy, not punishment” in the state’s approach to immigration. She shares concerns about transparency, oversight, and the impact on families and Nebraska’s overcrowded prison system. Senator Juarez also talks about her interim study on expanding passenger rail service across the state, her vision for more transportation options in Nebraska, and why voter participation in 2026 will be critical.
Sen. Juarez is hosting five town halls across the state to gather input about passenger train infrastructure. The town hall schedule follows:
– Columbus Town Hall – Tuesday from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Columbus Library (2500 14th St., Suite 2). This town hall will be facilitated in English with Spanish interpretation.
– Lincoln Town Hall – Sept. 5 from 6-7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church (840 S. 17th St.).
– North Platte Town Hall – Sept 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the North Platte Library (120 W. 4th St.).
– Grand Island Town Hall – Sept. 16 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Grand Island Library (1124 W. 2nd St.).
