DONNA, Texas A compound of tents to detain migrant children and families was evacuated for hours this week when struck by fierce winds in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, authorities said.
All migrants at the Border Patrol’s holding center in Donna, Texas, were moved to other facilities in the Rio Grande Valley, parent agency U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. Operations resumed at the Donna Processing Facility on Wednesday morning, with new arrivals being admitted.
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department, which has an adjoining tent compound designed for longer stays, evacuated about 150 of 1,320 unaccompanied children held there after one of its dorms suffered storm damage, spokeswoman Isabel Estrada said. The children returned Wednesday morning.
All 146 migrant children who were housed at an Erie dormitory since April 13 have been either transferred to other facilities or reunited with sponsors in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
On Saturday, 113 children at the Pennsylvania International Academy dormitory in Summit Township were transported out of the facility. On Sunday, 31 children were transported out. Two children were transported out earlier last week.
In a statement Friday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said the children would be transferred to facilities licensed by the department s Office of Refugee Resettlement where beds are available.
