Miguel Vergara, director of the local Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations, said the US government has designated the Port Isabel Detention Center as a place where certain groups of migrants are kept. On the walls of the cells, which can hold between 10 and 20 people, information is posted in 15 languages. Detainees are encouraged to take part in outdoor activities, but the hours can be curtailed by the punishing Texas sun. The response will come in writing; if it is negative, the detainee can appeal to a judge, who has a court at the detention center. On Monday, the facility had around 170 spaces, but, says Vergara, he expects it will be full again soon.
