The Department of Health and Human Services has called for volunteers from NASA to assist with unaccompanied migrant children who are overwhelming the system and leading to the opening of emergency intake facilities at military installations across the South, according to a media report.
As of Wednesday, HHS had more than 16,000 migrant children in its custody, with some 1,200 in a temporary structure at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Texas. An undisclosed amount of migrants will be housed at a vacant dormitory at Joint Base San Antonio. Camp Roberts in California is also under “active consideration” by HHS, and Fort Benning, Georgia, was recently visited by the agency. Daily press releases from the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement outline ways the public can volunteer or donate to help migrant children.
