Trump administration resumes family detention at Texas facilities
Mar 12, 2025 · South Texas
The Trump administration has resumed detaining immigrant families at U.S. facilities, reversing a Biden-era policy pause and reopening two Texas family detention centers that had been closed since 2021. The facilities have inadequate medical care, food insecurity, and conditions associated with psychological trauma for detainees. Additionally, the administration has begun sending deportees, including children, to detention facilities in Panama and Costa Rica.
