Biden admin to close ICE’s largest detention center – says it’s the ‘most expensive facility’ in the nation

The Biden administration plans to shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s largest detention center, citing the fact that it is the “most expensive facility” in the nation, the New York Post reported.

The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, has the capacity to hold 2,400 illegal immigrants. The facility is run by a private prison contractor, Tennessee-based CoreCivic, according to the Border Report.
‘Deliberate act of amnesty through inaction.’
In a June 10 press release, ICE wrote, “ICE continually reviews the overall detention capacity and in doing so, takes action to close certain facilities that no longer provide a sufficient return on investment. This includes closing the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, which is the most expensive facility in the national detention network.”
The agency stated it would reallocate funding from the detention center to “increase the overall detention bed capacity across the system by an estimated 1,600 beds to better support operational needs.”
