Fox News got exclusive access to a rare tour of an ICE detention facility in Texas, where approximately 400 to 500 illegal migrants are processed weekly.

The Montgomery Processing Center is an ICE detention facility in Conroe, Texas, just north of Houston. It is one of the 134 detention facilities ICE operates across the United States.

According to ICE data, there are 47,928 aliens in ICE custody nationwide. Of those in custody, approximately 25,679 or 54% have been charged or convicted of at least one criminal offense.
