HOUSTON (AP) — Federal immigration officials are using Houston’s George Bush International Airport as a transfer point for distributing the influx of unaccompanied immigrant children around the country.

A statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says ICE began using the airport to help with processing the children arriving from the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Those children are then distributed to Health and Human Services Department facilities around the country.
