Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will soon resume holding migrant families at a facility near San Antonio, Texas, where the agency had previously stopped holding families.

ICE said in a statement to The Washington Post that it would change the Karnes County Residential Center “back to a family residential center in the near future.”

According to the newspaper, the agency had previously said it would stop holding families there earlier this year due to difficulty in taking people there amid increased border crossings.

ICE spokesman Richard Rocha told The Post that the facility was most recently used to house about 700 adult women and its intake has been halted. He added that detainees will be transferred elsewhere.
