Texas ICE Detention Center Under Quarantine After Measles Outbreak

A Texas ICE detention center has been placed under quarantine following a measles outbreak. Seventeen measles cases have been reported in El Paso, including 13 at Camp East Montana, an ICE detention facility. Earlier in February, two cases of tuberculosis and 18 cases of COVID-19 were also identified at the same facility, raising serious concerns about public health conditions inside the rapidly expanded military detention site. Update (March 5): The facility is now under full quarantine.
