Connecticut looking for sites to house migrant children

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Gov. Ned Lamont says Connecticut officials are looking at places in the state to house unaccompanied migrant children who have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in record numbers. He said Thursday that the potential sites include the now-shuttered Connecticut Juvenile Training School in Middletown, which drew criticism over its prison-like conditions. Immigrant and civil rights advocates are expressing concern about using the training school. Lamont says Vice President Kamala Harris asked him during a recent visit to Connecticut if the state could take some of the children from the border, and he said he would look into it.
