U.S. Customs and Border Protection is seeking to build a second, centralized facility in El Paso to process migrants arriving at the border.
The proposed “Central Processing Center” would be the second such facility in El Paso. They represent the Department of Homeland Security’s latest approach to temporarily detaining and processing migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border without permission.
CBP in December asked the city of El Paso to sell 60 acres belonging to the water authority in Northeast with an assessed value of about $431,000, according to a Dec. 11, 2020, land sale request obtained by the El Paso Times.
