2 measles infections confirmed at Texas facility where 5-year-old detained in Minnesota was held
DHS said state health officials reported the infections to federal immigration authorities Saturday.
Two detainees were infected with measles at a Texas immigration facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father had been held, a Department of Homeland Security official said Sunday.
The two patients at Dilley Immigration Processing Center were quarantined, alongside anyone else who may have made contact, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “All movement” within the facility was halted, she said.
The detainees in question, who were not identified, were in good hands, she said. “This is the best healthcare than many aliens have received in their entire lives,” McLaughlin said.
Dilley Immigration Processing Center is where 5-year-old Liam and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, had been held until they were released Saturday. It wasn’t clear whether they may have been in contact with the infected detainees. An attorney for the family did not respond Saturday night to a request for comment.
