Washington, D.C.– Within one week of meeting one-on-one with Honduran Ambassador to the United States, Jorge Milla Reyes, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) will be joined this Saturday by the First Lady of Honduras, Ana Garcia de Hernandez as well as Ambassador Milla Reyes to tour the Border Patrol Facility in McAllen and the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio that is housing unaccompanied minors.
These visits are a follow up to Rep. Cuellar’s June 14th tour of the McAllen Border Patrol facility, in which he invited local officials and met with Border Patrol agents, unaccompanied children, and immigrant families. Congressman Cuellar was the first Member of Congress to visit the site and this will be the first time a representative of one of the Central American countries that are part of the surge of unaccompanied minors will visit the border.
Rep. Cuellar and the Honduran delegation will tour the McAllen Border Patrol facility in the morning and Lackland in the afternoon on Saturday. Press availability will be hosted in both cities following the tours.
