A US governor has said she is "disturbed" by reports that hundreds of illegal migrant children will be sent unaccompanied to a detention centre in Arizona this weekend.
In a statement on her website, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said she had learned that 432 children were transported from Texas to the facility in the state's southern town of Nogales on Friday.
She said a further 732 children would be brought there over the course of Saturday and Sunday.
Her spokesman, Andrew Wilder, said the conditions at the facility were so dire federal officials had asked the state urgently to release warehoused medical supplies and ship them to the centre.
They will be joined at the facility by an unspecified number of adults and families who are among tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have overwhelmed US border authorities in Texas in recent months.
The news comes days after Ms Brewer sent a letter to US President Barack Obama condemning reports that the United States Department of Homeland Security had allowed the release of thousands of illegal immigrants at bus stations in the Arizona cities of Tucson and Phoenix.
Overwhelmed authorities are releasing busloads of immigrants in Arizona They were told make their own way to a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office within 15 days.
Ms Brewer said the latest news was proof that this policy, the existence of which she said he had not been notified of in advance, was ongoing, despite claims it had come to an end.
"I am disturbed and outraged that President Obama's administration continues to implement this dangerous and inhumane policy," she said.
"Not only does the federal government have no plan to stop this disgraceful policy, it also has no plan to deal with the endless waves of illegal aliens once they are released here."
She called on the president to do more to do more to secure US borders.
In a statement on Friday, Homeland Security officials said "appropriate custody determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis" for illegal migrants caught in Texas.
