(BORDER REPORT) The Centralized Processing Center in Donna, Texas is being shut down after processing over 611,000 migrants, including 223,000 unaccompanied children and 360,000 families with children, since opening in 2021.

The closing of facilities comes as CBP released new border encounter numbers Wednesday showing the biggest drop in immigrants trying to cross into the Southwest border for February in DHS history.

“The men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection continue to aggressively implement the President’s Executive Orders to secure our borders, and as a result of this leadership, we have achieved historic lows in border apprehensions,” CBP Acting Commissioner Pete Flores said.

Border Patrol reported 8,347 encounters of immigrants on the Southwest border in February, down from 29,101 in January. That’s down from 140,641 encounters in February 2024.
