In July 2014, a new "Central Processing Center" (CPC) was opened in McAllen, Texas, which was described as being clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, providing improved conditions compared to existing facilities.
One article from 2018 describes a detention center in Nogales as being clean and air-conditioned, according to a caption from an Associated Press photo of unaccompanied minors sleeping in a holding cell.
Facilities with Reported Cold Temperatures:
Some facilities, particularly temporary holding cells near the border, known as "hieleras" or "iceboxes," were criticized for their frigid temperatures and harsh conditions. These facilities were designed for short-term stays but often held people for days.
Reports indicated that officers in some holding cells would increase the air conditioning to punish detainees.
