Hundreds of Mumps Cases Reported Among Detained Migrants in 19 States

Officials have reported hundreds of mumps cases among detained migrants in 19 states.

Mumps has swept through 57 immigration detention facilities in 19 states since September, according to the first U.S. government report on the outbreaks in the overloaded immigration system.

The virus sickened 898 adult migrants and 33 detention center staffers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its report Thursday.

New cases continue as migrants are taken into custody or transferred between facilities, the report said. As of last week, outbreaks were happening in 15 facilities in seven states.

In response to the report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Bryan Cox said medical professionals at detention facilities screen all new detainees within 24 hours of their arrival to ensure that highly contagious diseases are not spread.

This is a troubling development for Americans everywhere. Mumps is a highly infectious disease. Now Nebraska health officials are reporting a “significant” increase in mumps cases following two outbreaks in the state.

Why am I not surprised by this ?

We should start referring to the democrat party as the party of disease and pestilence.

Mumps is preventable. There is a vaccine. Vaccinated Americans won't get the disease.

the bigger issue is flooding the Country with 3rd world immigrants who carry the disease and put Americans at risk.

African Migrants Are Becoming A New Face Of The U.S. Border Crisis

Story date 6/20/2019

Filipe and Mireille took their four young children and fled violent militias and civil unrest in theDemocratic Republic of Congo nearly five months ago.

They flew to Ecuador, then traveled on foot across Central America to reach the U.S.-Mexico border, where they waited for weeks in a long line of asylum-seekers before being allowed to cross and make the last leg of their journey.

Finally, they reached their destination: a makeshift emergency shelter in Portland, Maine — a converted minor-league sports arena now filled with cots. Filipe describes it as "paradise."

Question: Where did they get the money to fly from the Congo to the U.S.

Ebola in Democratic Republic of the Congo

North Kivu and Ituri provinces are among the most populated in DRC. These provinces share borders with other countries (Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda) with frequent cross-border movement for personal travel and trade. The provinces have been experiencing a prolonged humanitarian crisis and deteriorating security, which are limiting public health efforts to respond to this outbreak. The US Department of State has identified this part of the country as a “do not travel” zone because of crime, Ebola, and kidnapping.
