Federal authorities are considering the use of two more facilities in California to temporarily house the increasing number of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the southern border with Mexico. The Long Beach Post reported Thursday that migrant children could be housed in the convention center’s 45,000-square-foot arena. He said he wasn’t aware of any other requests from HHS for assistance with housing migrant children. “The emergency facility in California is necessary to help clean up Trump’s mess and ensure that unaccompanied children have access to asylum once again,” she said.
