Nebraska announces plan for immigration detention center

Nebraska has announced plans for an immigration detention center in the state’s remote southwest corner as President Donald Trump’s administration races to expand the infrastructure necessary for increasing deportations. The Trump administration is adding new detention facilities across the country to hold the growing number of immigrants it has arrested and accused of being in the country illegally. The facilities include the remote detention center in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz." The Nebraska facility has already been dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink.” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement centers held more than 56,000 immigrants in June, the most since 2019.

Exporting air pollution elsewhere isn't a solution.

A fossil fuel phase out is urgently required. It will require export limits on sales, as well as penalties on buying it.

It's been tried.

Example:
Banning DDT at home while selling it internationally still decimated wildlife.

🎸 Say hello to the rainforest’s rockstar! This Black Palm Cockatoo is serving crimson cheek and crest drama like it’s headlining a jungle concert. I couldn’t resist capturing its bold silhouette and moody blues—this bird is pure swagger.
