June 11 (UPI) -- Up to 1,4000 unaccompanied migrant children will be temporarily housed at Fort Sill Army base in Oklahoma, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday.
The department's Office of Refugee Resettlement said it was activating the base in Lawton due to a "dramatic spike" in migrants under the age of 18 who have no parents or other legal guardians in the United States.
