Trump Will Erect Tent Cities for Detained Children

“The Trump administration is looking to build tent cities at military posts around Texas to shelter the increasing number of unaccompanied migrant children being held in detention,” McClatchy reports.

“The Department of Health and Human Services will visit Fort Bliss, a sprawling Army base near El Paso in the coming weeks to look at a parcel of land where the administration is considering building a tent city to hold between 1,000 and 5,000 children… The aggressive plan comes at the same time that child shelters are filling up with more children who have been separated from their parents.”
