DONNA, Texas—A new facility at the U.S.–Mexico border has popped up over the last 13 days by the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

The facility, a giant 40,000-square-foot tent, will hold 500 illegal immigrants as Border Patrol’s current facilities are bursting at the seams.
