Biden administration repurposing Long Beach Convention Center as 12th overflow facility for migrant children Print this article
The Biden administration is expected to open its 12th overflow facility as it struggles to hold the more than 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children in its custody as of Monday, an indication of the severity of the border crisis.
The Long Beach Convention Center will become the latest building to be repurposed by the federal government to hold children who show up at the southern border without their parents. It is the second California facility, after the San Diego Convention Center, that was seized by the Department of Health and Human Services to hold children for roughly one month while it searches for legitimate sponsors to release them to within the United States.

So many people have been arriving that the federal government approached San Diego, Dallas and other cities to help provide shelter for migrants packing facilities near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Tonight the Long Beach City Council will consider leasing its convention center to the Department of Health and Human Services for up to 120 days to house up to 1,000 children, with the government paying for use of the building, along with food, recreation, education and other services.
What led to this situation?
While Mexican nationals still make up the largest number of migrants apprehended at the border, Honduras and Guatemala play a significant role in this year’s increase of migrants, including those under the age of 18.

Border Patrol confirms they still have a backlog of kids waiting to be processed.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement under the Department of Health and Human Services takes in unaccompanied children after they are released from Border Patrol custody.
In Donna, construction is underway to create more temporary tents that are supposed to house minors in the long term until they’re matched with a family.
“As the number of children has increased over the past couple of months, the federal government once again is looking to expand shelter capacity in Texas,” said Bee Moorhead, Executive Director of Texas Impact, a nearly 40-year-old faith-based organization.
