Homestead: On the front lines of the migrant children debate
The immigration debate in southern Florida is not like those of any of the other detention centers around the U.S. Homestead sits on 55-acres of land sandwiched between buildings abandoned due to hurricane damage and the Homestead Air Reserve Base. The ground is a mix of gravel and grass and locals say heavy rains hit every afternoon.
This is the Trump administration’s largest shelter and it has been a magnet to reporters, protesters and members of congress. Not because it replicates any of the other detention centers around the country, but precisely because it stands alone.
