New International Falls Border Facility

International Falls' new border patrol facility is officially open.

The US Border Patrol in International Falls is responsible for 143 miles of border and is the busiest in Minnesota.

The opening of the state of the art facility was years in the making and marked yesterday afternoon with a ceremony and tours.

It's 33,000 square feet and boasts new training rooms, and easy access to waterways with room for expansion.

The new Border Station is also home to the Minnesota State Patrol, making it the first of its kind in the US and precedent setting.
