Two controversial immigration detention facilities in South Texas are being reopened for the detention and deportation of migrant women and families, officials tell Border Report.

A private prison company has signed an agreement to reopen an immigrant detention facility in Texas that previously held families with children for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the business said Wednesday.

The Trump administration is reopening a sprawling detention center in South Texas for migrant families facing deportation, according to the private prison contractor that runs the facility.

The Biden administration shuttered the Dilley facility last year because of high operating costs. It’s expected to hold immigrant families under the Trump administration.

A controversial immigration detention center in South Texas used by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold families is set to re-open, following a push from President Donald Trump to carry out mass deportation operations in his first weeks in office.
