The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is opening another facility for unaccompanied child migrants in Pecos,Texas, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announced Saturday. The Temporary Influx Care Facility will house at least 500 unaccompanied minors to start, with the capacity to house 2,000 children. "I got notified about an hour ago from HHS, that they're opening up a new unaccompanied minor facility in PECOS, which is in my district, out in West Texas. This facility is going to house between 500 to 2000, unaccompanied minors, it appears as if they're targeting unused man camps. These are oil facilities where workers, temporary oil workers, house when they're operating in the oil gas industry," Rep. Tony Gonzalez, R-Texas, said on Fox News Saturday.
