2,000 Discarded at Tuñas Canyon, L.A - 1941 to 1943

In the heart of Tujunga, California, Tuñas Canyon Detention Station, a transient home for immigrants, opened its doors on December 16, 1941, and shut them on October 30, 1943. Under the watchful gaze of the Department of Justice, it became home to 2,000 displaced souls - Japanese, Germans, Italians, Japanese Peruvians, and others. Shifted from a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, it nestled comfortably within Tujunga's landscape. By 1960, it transformed into the Verdugo Hills Golf Course, with the former detention sites cloaked under its south-eastern section, where the driving range and overflow parking reside. In 2013, a segment of the former detention site was bestowed the status of a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument by the City of Los Angeles. Yet, as the clock ticks, a housing developer relishes the opportunity to redevelop the land once more.
