The facility was intended to accommodate up to 30 children. This decision was reportedly influenced by local residents' objections to the project's establishment, as expressed in an earlier statement by a local residents' group.

Officials from the ministry emphasized the proposal's cancellation, though no specific reasons were articulated in the announcement that directly linked the decision to public opposition. The facility was part of broader migration policy discussions, but has been set aside following these community reactions.
