The Trump administration plans to open a 528-bed holding facility for migrant families and unaccompanied children in Alexandria, Louisiana, next to an airport hub. The facility is designed to streamline deportation processes by centralizing the holding of children currently scattered across foster homes and shelters nationwide. The new center aims to reduce logistical delays in deportation preparations.
