The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, will resume operations as a family housing facility under a new agreement with ICE. This decision marks a reversal of Biden's policy aimed at ending family detentions, which had faced significant criticism during the Trump administration for mistreatment allegations. The Dilley facility, originally opened in 2014, has been used to detain families escaping violence in Central America. CoreCivic CEO expressed gratitude for the opportunity to operate the facility again, which can accommodate up to 2,400 individuals.
