Approximately 100 unaccompanied migrant boys were scheduled to arrive Saturday at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas to be housed at an emergency intake site, Health and Human Services (HHS) announced. The site has the capacity to care for up to 372 children. HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is tasked with caring for migrant children until they are released to an appropriate guardian or sponsor. As of April 15, there were 19,798 children in ORR care, across 200 facilities in 22 states. Last week, Fox News confirmed that CBP is projecting that as many as 184,000 unaccompanied children could reach the border in the fiscal year 2021.
