Report Description
During the week of June 10, 2019, we visited five Border Patrol stations and two ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley sector and observed serious overcrowding and prolonged detention of children and adults that require immediate attention. Specifically, Border Patrol facilities in the Rio Grande Valley do not have the capacity to hold the thousands currently in custody, and have been holding hundreds of children in custody beyond the 72 hours generally permitted under the TEDS standards and the Flores Agreement.
