U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has confirmed that it has shut down several temporary illegal alien processing facilities that we set up under former President Joe Biden’s administration.
CBP is no longer operating any of its controversial “soft-sided” migrant processing centers, marking a significant shift in border policy as migrant apprehensions continue to decline under President Donald Trump’s renewed crackdown.
The last of the temporary facilities—set up during the height of the border surge to manage record-breaking numbers of illegal crossings—was shuttered in March near San Diego.
The move signals the Trump administration’s confidence in its recent executive measures to regain control over the Southern Border.
“Due to the unprecedented drop in apprehensions of illegal aliens as a result of the president’s recent executive actions, CBP is not operating any temporary, soft-sided processing facilities,” a CBP spokesperson reportedly told Fox News.
“CBP no longer has a need for them as illegal aliens are being quickly removed.”
The so-called soft-sided centers were built under the Biden administration.
They were designed to handle the overflow of illegal aliens crossing the border, particularly in California, Texas, and Arizona.
However, CBP now says it has transitioned back to using its permanent infrastructure
