Living in the shadow of separated families — These days, Texas residents who live near the US Border Patrol’s largest processing center can’t help but be more attuned to what’s going on inside the facility, which is also a detention center. Since early May, more than 1,000 migrant parents and children were held and later routinely separated inside the 77,000-square-foot center in McAllen. The same awareness is present in people who live about an hour away, in Brownsville, where a former Walmart now houses more than 1,400 unaccompanied migrant boys,
including those who were taken from their families.
