Soft-sided migrant processing centers in Texas ordered to shut down due to cancellation of 'Catch and Release' policy and decrease in illegal border crossings under Trump administration. Facilities cost nearly $10 million each monthly and were used to house illegal aliens awaiting asylum hearings. The shutdown order did not address similar shelters in Arizona and California.
