(CNN) A group of over 20 House Democrats will visit the US-Mexico border on Thursday and Friday, making it the largest site visit yet by members of Congress to El Paso this year.

Rep. Veronica Escobar of El Paso will host the delegation, which will be led by House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries of New York and includes members from across the ideological spectrum within the caucus. The delegation also includes members from the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

According to Escobar's office, this is the 12th congressional trip the congresswoman has hosted in El Paso this year.

Members will start the trip in Juarez, Mexico, and will stop at a port of entry and processing facility run by US Customs and Border Protection. They'll also visit a border patrol station and then later a detention center run by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The trip comes shortly after the House passed a bill to improve health conditions of migrants in detention with CBP. When the House returns in September from its month-long recess, it's also expected to take up Escobar's bill to implement greater oversight at the Department of Homeland Security, as it handles the humanitarian crisis at the border. The Senate has not indicated it will take up either of the bills.
