Opening of Temporary Processing Facility in Eagle Pass
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
EAGLE PASS (News Release) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the opening of a soft-sided facility in Eagle Pass, Texas. The facility’s primary purpose is to safely and expeditiously process individuals in U.S. Border Patrol custody.
The facility will be weatherproof, climate-controlled, and is expected to provide ample areas for eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene. The new facility’s design is similar to that of recently constructed soft-sided facilities. The 90,000 square foot facility sits on five acres adjacent to the Eagle Pass South Station, which houses the Del Rio Sector Central Processing Center.
The temporary facility will provide additional processing capacity for Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector.
