LONG BEACH—As many as 150 migrant children were expected to arrive at the Long Beach Convention Center April 22, beginning its operation as a shelter that will house unaccompanied minors from the U.S.-Mexico border until they can be reunited with family or placed with sponsors.
According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, the children will receive medical checks, clothing, toiletries, food and snacks. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said they will also receive schooling and have recreational opportunities.
