The location where migrant children will be held until the Department of Health and Human Services can find sponsors for them is Fort Sill, an Army base that has been operating since 1869. It did house Japanese Americans when President Roosevelt signed order Executive Order 9066.
"The base has been used to house migrant children in the past. In 2014 (under Obama) approximately 2,000 unaccompanied minors were placed at Fort Sill for two months. The Army base has the ability to house 1,400 children today, according to the Military Times."
