DHS Inspector General Finds 'Dangerous Overcrowding' in Border Patrol Facilities

The Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security observed overcrowding of families on June 10 at a detention center in McAllen, Texas. The OIG issued a blistering report raising concerns that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to DHS agents and detainees.

The inspector general's office visited Customs and Border Protection sites across the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. They found migrants penned in overcrowded Border Patrol facilities.
