Welcome to the Otero County Processing Center site. Our facility is operated exclusively for U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The length of stay for those assigned to this facility is relatively short. Our staff endeavor to provide an atmosphere that is comfortable, safe, and conducive to making time pass quickly for those who find themselves in our care. I am especially proud of this facility’s record of accreditation and compliance with the many standards that are established by the government and the accrediting entities. There are many ways that we exceed those standards to the benefit those in our care. The staff at this facility are BIONIC (Believe It Or Not I Care). We care about your loved one, and we try to prove this daily in our work and interaction with others.
