And I’ll bet you anything, they won’t know what these are for or how to use them
The Washington Post likewise stresses the internment camp reference, but at least hints that another administration might have done something similar: "Geronimo and the Japanese were imprisoned there. Now Fort Sill will hold migrant children — again." Here's how the Post's coverage begins:
Record numbers of unaccompanied children from Central America have crossed the border in recent months. So many that the Office of Refugee Resettlement has been scrambling to find housing for them.
On Tuesday, the agency announced it has chosen a military base as a temporary shelter: Fort Sill in Oklahoma, which was used during World War II as an internment camp for Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants. Before that, it was the longtime prison for Apache leader Geronimo.

But as many have pointed out, for those willing to take the step to read a little further than the headlines, an uncomfortable fact emerges: The Obama administration used the same "former Japanese internment camp" to house immigrants in 2014. The Post report acknowledges this fact in its fourth paragraph:
This isn’t the first time that Fort Sill has been used this way, though. During the Obama presidency, unaccompanied children were housed there for four months. At the time, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) blamed Obama’s “failed immigration policies," saying, “It is alarming to have 1,200 children in a military Installation.”
