–Spokespersons from regional U.S. Congressmen Salud Carbajal’s (D-Santa Barbara) and Jimmy Panetta’s (D-Monterey) offices say the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notified them that plans to house migrant children at Camp Roberts are now on hold.
The plans for Camp Roberts are on hold because the number of children in HHS custody has dropped dramatically, the spokespersons said.
In a teleconference meeting with federal officials last month, Paso Robles Mayor Steve Martin was told as many as 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children could be processed at Camp Roberts. “I expressed concerns about the impacts on local traffic, medical services, educational services and housing,” Martin said at the time. “I was told that, if children were transported to Camp Roberts, they would not arrive all at one time, but in groups of a few hundred. I was also assured medical and educational services would be handled on-base and would not impact local agencies.”

After a difficult year of layoffs and revenue loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Del Mar Fairgrounds could get a boost from a bill in Congress that would provide $500 million in grants for agricultural fairs nationwide.
The bill, the Agricultural Fairs Rescue Act, was introduced earlier this month by two U.S. Reps. from California, Jimmy Panetta (D-Monterey) and Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) along with Billy Long (R-Mo.) and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.).
Levin said in an interview that the pandemic “has just taken a huge toll on the Del Mar community.”
