IMMIGRATION/TRUMP OFFICIALS: “U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have shut down the South Texas warehouse where chain-link enclosures were deplored as ‘cages’ during the Trump administration’s crackdown on migrant families and children. The facility will undergo renovations until 2022, CBP officials said.
The chain-link partitions will be removed, and the warehouse will be redesigned to provide detained migrants with more humane conditions, CBP officials said. The renovations will take 18 months or longer, leaving border agents without a large-volume facility if a new migration surge occurs next year.”
