The Mexican government has closed a large warehouse near the Texas border that was being used to hold nearly 2,000 migrants who traveled as part of a caravan from Central America, a senior U.S. law enforcement official confirmed to the Washington Examiner Tuesday evening.

The old factory in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, sits just miles from the international border and had been used to house 1,900 migrants who arrived there on dozens of buses Feb. 4.
