Inside the nation’s latest holding facility for migrant children, about 200 unaccompanied teenagers live under the care of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Carrizo Springs.

Mayor Wayne Seipel said he hasn’t heard of any residents opposing the shelter. In fact, he’s hopeful the facility will mean a boost for the town’s economy.

But some are skeptical of the optimistic outlook for the shelter, given reports of the deteriorating conditions inside Border Patrol facilities.
