McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — A South Texas migrant detention center that has the most detainees of any U.S. facility will be shutting down, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

The South Texas Family Residential Center, in Dilley, Texas, will be closing to save costs, according to ICE, which said it is “the most expensive facility in the national detention network.”

The Dilley facility is operated by the Tennessee-based CoreCivic, a private prison operator for whom it generated $156.6 million in revenue in 2023, according to Dow Jones.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement remains focused on meeting the constantly changing operational needs of the immigration enforcement mission in a fiscally responsible manner,” ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner said in a statement earlier this month.

Ironically  , I think it would save on detentions of terrorist, crooks, and thugs too since there would be less room to house them.

Closing to "save costs"?

"Business" must be bad, due to Texas actually taking action to protect their border.
