I figure Fort Hood is next, if they haven’t implemented it already. Most probably North Fort Hood.

MESSAGE TO SEN INHOFE---Sen Inhofe should notify Army officials that these are minor children......Child Protective Services should detain them under laws covering suspected runaways.
Sen Inhofe, the US military, and the state, should officially contact the governments involved specifying that they are required to seek out the parents of these Mexican, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemalan children so that they can be returned to them via their respective juvenile justice systems.
Sen Inhofe might emphasize that the countries involved might not want to be party to child abandonement, as the world looks on.
By US law, these separated children are legally chattels of their parents; the state cannot release minors until there are responsible adults to care for them.
