The otherwise abrupt turn onto Munson Road in Carrizo Springs, Texas, a town of about 5,500 about 82 miles northwest of Laredo, is marked by a large billboard with an arrow pointing to “The Studios,” the former housing barracks for oil workers that was recently leased by the federal government to house
At the dead end of the single-lane road, a newer, much wordier sign hangs from wire fencing outside the entrance to The Studios.
Within 72 hours of apprehension, these children must be transferred into the custody of ORR, which funds a network of 168 facilities run by non-governmental organizations in 23 states.
While secrecy has done little to help public perception of what ORR does, particularly in the current climate, they’ve also hardly been the innocent victims of partisan outrage. Overall, Carrizo Springs seemed a noticeably more welcoming and relaxed place than what is known about Homestead or the now-shuttered influx shelter in Tornillo, Texas — a sprawling tent city that, at its peak, held close to 6,000 thousand kids. But Carrizo Springs had been open for barely more than a week at the time of the tour and was only occupied by a fraction of the kids it has the capacity to house.
