HUNDREDS OF IMMIGRANT TEENS FROM EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, AND HONDURAS ARE NOW AT HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. THE 800 TEEN IMMIGRANTS ARRIVED ON BASE ON SUNDAY, AND WILL BE HOUSED THERE IN A BUILDING ONCE USED BY THE SPACE SURVEILLANCE SQUADRON.
HOLLOMAN IS ONE OF THREE TEMPORARY IMMIGRANT SHELTERS. TWO OTHERS ARE IN COLORADO AND FLORIDA. OFFICIALS DON’T EXPECT THE TEENS TO BE A THE HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE FACILITY BEYOND A MONTH. THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN KEPT IN U-S B ORDER PATROL FACILITIES THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR ADULTS.
