The $15 million contract for the facility also calls for showers, toilets, sinks and sleeping mats, among other resources.
Arizona RepublicU.S. Border Patrol officials in Arizona hosted tours Friday of a new facility where detained undocumented migrants will be temporarily housed.
Construction on the new facility began June 15 in response to overcrowding at the Border Patrol's current facilities in the Yuma sector. "Temporary facilities like this one were previously opened in Donna and El Paso, Texas to help with the overflow of migrants," states the press release."They successfully addressed the challenges of providing care for family units in custody."
