A private prison company says it will reopen an immigrant detention facility in Texas that previously held families with children for U.S.

The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley is among the largest in the country with a capacity to detain up to 2,400 people. The Biden administration closed it last summer because it was reportedly far more expensive to operate than other U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.

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.
