CASTRO, CASAR OPPOSE NEW ICE FACILITIES IN SAN ANTONIO

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to acquire a warehouse on the East side of San Antonio and turn it into a 1,500 bed ‘processing center,’ Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) and Congressman Greg Casar (TX-35) released the following statement:

“We should be closing down the facilities where children and families are being held in inhumane conditions—not building more of them. These warehouses that are being branded as ‘processing centers’ are just another way for the administration to indiscriminately lock people up and give the profits to its cronies. We strongly oppose any expansion of ICE’s presence in San Antonio, and we will fight with every tool available to prevent it.”
