The Biden administration is preparing to open another tent facility of immigrants near the U.S.-Mexico border amid a surge in migrants over the past several weeks after President Joe Biden took office.

“CBP is currently constructing a soft-sided facility in Eagle Pass, TX to help accommodate migrants in our custody. There have always been fluctuations in the number of individuals we encounter at the border, and we continue to adapt accordingly,” the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement to CNN on Monday.
