Texas officials have launched an investigation into reports alleging sexual and other abuse and neglect at a San Antonio facility housing migrant teenagers who'd arrived from the southern border, Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday.

Why it matters: The investigation into the three separate reports at the Freeman Coliseum marks the first time state officials have announced a probe into an emergency facility set up by the U.S. government in Texas in response to a rise in border crossings of unaccompanied youths, AP notes.

What they're saying: Abbott said at a news conference that the facility "should shut down immediately," as he blamed the Biden administration for the incident.

• The Biden administration did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
