The Trump Administration has opted to use an Army base in Oklahoma to hold growing numbers of immigrant children in its custody after running out of room at government shelters.
Fort Sill, an 150-year-old installation once used as an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II, has been selected to detain 1,400 children until they can be given to an adult relative, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The agency said Fort Sill will be used “as a temporary emergency influx shelter” to help ease the burden on the government as it prepares to house a record number of minors even though it already operates about 168 facilities and programs in 23 states.
Health and Human Services said in a statement that it has taken about 40,900 children into custody through April 30. That’s a 57% increase from last year, which is a rate on-pace to surpass the record figures in 2016, when 59,171 minors were taken into custody. The agency had assessed two other military bases before selecting Fort Sill.

They are criminal aliens.
TIME magazine is produced in offices where a child was raped.
Who the hell cares what the base was used for 75 years ago!!!
Send them all home or push them back into Mexico.
Send them back to their country and make that country pay to reimburse us for all the expenses.
I can dream too!
The world’s gonna end , Trump is using the democrat fascist camp for the wrong people... American gun owners should be in it instead, hmmkay
You know, they call it Yellow Journalism for a reason...
(and no, I’m not making an Asian association)
Americans were imprisoned there...
it ought to be good enough for illegal aliens...
Oh please.
I’ve stayed at Ft. Silly. I’m sure their accomodations are just fine.
Oh noes!! It’s disgraceful that Trump is sending these poor innocent asylum seekers to an internment camp with such a horrific history!!!!
Here’s a better and more humane solution: Send these illegal invaders back to where they came from!!!
Pretty sure that base was also used as a depot for troops that went on to die in the trenches in WWI (to make the world “safe for democracy). Just about certain it was used by troops who went over to beat Hitler (because it didn’t take last time?). Of course those associations are meaningless to libtards.
.........until they can be given to an adult relative, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
are these children not related to those that brought them in ?
Trump should re-name it Fort Democrat F.D.R. That will stop anymore reports on this. Funny how that word “Democrat” is nowhere to be found on that page.

Honestly many of the relatives just want to sell this children into a life of sex slavery. I think the camp sounds great until the Democrats wake up and get to work fixing this problem.
Do these people think with the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens flowing across our border, that we can just put the kids up in new Holiday Inn's built expressly for them?
When Congress refuses to pass immigration laws or provide more budget money, we will do with what we have.
Put them up in Joe Arpaio's tents for all I care.
The outrage on the Left is so phony, when they know they are contributing to the problem themselves.
According to Time Magazine I think they wish to paint the picture of barbed wire and wooden buildings with no windows and board shutters and compare it to a Stalag.
The children are chattel, for the coyotes and the sex traders.
