The Biden administration is set to open a new tented immigration facility in Texas amid a surge of migrants coming to the border. 

Fast Facts

    • CBP said it was building the facility to “help accommodate migrants in our custody”

The facility is being opened in Eagle Pass, Texas, in the Del Rio sector, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News. The soft-sided facility is being set up in addition to a similar 185,000-square-foot site in Donna, Texas, that was opened at the beginning of the month.
