The South Texas Family Residential Center (also called Dilley Immigration Processing Center) is an immigrant detention center in Dilley, Texas. First opened in December 2014, it has a capacity of 2,400 and is intended to detain mainly women and children from Central America. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) closed the detention center in June 2024, citing cost savings to add more beds in other facilities as the Biden administration implemented new border restrictions.
In 2025, CoreCivic announced a new contract with ICE to reopen the facility as the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. ICE awarded the CoreCivic and Target Hospitality a 5-year contract in 2025, aiming to immediately resume operations. CoreCivic receives $160 million annually to operate the facility. As of 2025, the facility was exceeded in total capacity and average daily population by some other detention centers, including Camp East Montana.
A 2025 ICE planning document described the possible construction of a 250-person "soft-sided" detention center at the site.
