After the tour, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán, Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia and Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell took questions from members of the media on the steps of the Convention Center.
The politicians said that 40 more migrant children are expected to leave the facility and be reunited with families by this weekend, and by next week, the goal would be to bump that number up to 100. The reunifications are taking place in states across the country.
“This is progress we need to keep working toward,” Barragán said. The congresswoman represents the 44th District that includes North Long Beach. She also chairs the U.S. House Homeland Border Security Subcommittee. She was conducting several oversight visits this week at detention and emergency shelter facilities in California and Texas and stopped to see the Convention Center in Downtown, which was converted into a temporary shelter last month.

Fremont, who gave the name of Golden Gate to the strait over which the bridge spans, so it was really a no-brainer to give the bridge its name.
There have been a handful of other fine bridge names: The Bridge of Sighs, in Venice, Italy; France’s Pont du Gard; the Wind and Rain Bridge in China; Hell Gate in New York City.
