The federal government may house unaccompanied migrant children on an Army National Guard base in central California, officials said.
The Pentagon on Friday approved the use of Camp Roberts to temporarily house migrant children traveling alone, according to a defense official.
It was not immediately clear how many children, if any, are to be placed at the camp, which is along the Salinas River about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Saturday that the camp was “under active consideration.” The department has not yet made its decision.
