Tent city opens amid influx of migrant families near Texas border
FOX 26 Reporter Ivory Hecker gives you a look at a new temporary processing center for migrant families near the Texas border.
TEXAS - A small tent city opened Tuesday night in the Texas border town of Donna to help process a growing number of people who’ve crossed the border illegally, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
CBP is giving a look at the brand new 45-acre temporary processing facility just outside of McAllen, releasing photos and video of the facility this week.

CBP says the facility is meant to handle overflow after the main processing facility in McAllen closed for renovations six months ago.
