Trump Administration Restarts Immigrant Family Detentions in Texas Facilities

The reopened centers house families from various countries, including those apprehended through border crossings and interior enforcement.

The Trump administration has resumed family detention of immigrants, reopening facilities in Karnes County and Dilley, Texas.
Families detained include individuals apprehended at the U.S.-Canada border, recent southern border crossers, and those with long-standing ties to U.S. communities.
Human rights organizations have condemned the practice, citing severe mental and physical health impacts on detained children and parents.
The Karnes County facility, managed by GEO Group, is operational, while the Dilley facility, operated by CoreCivic, is being prepared to house additional families.
The administration is considering challenging the Flores Settlement, which limits the detention of children to 20 days.
