#Family #detention is being resurrected by Trump.

Families have begun to arrive in recent days at a detention facility in South Texas,
and immigration lawyers are expecting more to be brought in the coming days.
A second detention center, also in South Texas, is being readied for families.
Each of the facilities is being set up to hold thousands of people.

At one site, lawyers say, multiple families are being detained in rooms with four to eight bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities.

With the border now quiet and illegal crossings notably low, immigration enforcement has shifted to the interior of the country.

That has led to arrests of people with established ties to communities,
who had been working or going to school before their families were taken into federal custody.

And some of them are bound for the newly reopened detention center in
#Karnes, Texas,
and the soon-to-be-reopened detention center in
#Dilley, Texas,
-- both south of San Antonio.

A facility in Dilley, Texas, shown in 2019, is one of two sites where U.S. immigration authorities will be detaining undocumented immigrant families.
