County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis said the Pomona Fairplex campus could house up to 2,500 unaccompanied minors, according to The Associated Press.
The site had been used as a Japanese internment camp during World War II.

The crisis at the southern border is shattering concerning records and shows no signs of stopping in the near future.
New data from Customs and Border Protection projects in March alone, over 16,000 children will be apprehended by the end of the month, breaking the previous record of 11,475 in May 2019.
These new projections are roughly 10,000 children higher than what the administration predicted prior to the surge last month, according to Axios.
The administration said last month it expected 13,000 unaccompanied children would cross the border in May. New numbers show the expectation of 22,000 to 25,000 in light of the current situation. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
