Several mumps cases confirmed at Texas ICE facility, health officials say

Health officials on Saturday confirmed seven mumps cases at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Houston.

The Houston Health Department said in a press release that the cases involved seven adults who were detained during their infectious period -- meaning there was no evidence that anyone outside the facility was infected.

“Since these individuals were isolated inside the facility during the period they were infectious, we do not anticipate these cases posing a threat to the community,” said Dr. David Persse, Houston’s local health authority and EMS medical director.

Health officials are working with the ICE facility to control the transmission of the disease and provide on-site treatment.

Good to see you back.

I signed up at FB years ago and unsigned a couple weeks later. lol

I’ve read some firsthand accounts of a few ranchers along the border and it’s a mess as well as very dangerous for them, they’ve got no reason to lie.

Of course pompous politicians that want open borders have every reason to lie and they do.

Small pox has been eradicated world wide. I highly doubt there was a case anywhere much less at our border. If there was it would be the biggest public health crisis world wide bar none.

This is a WMD attack. The President has the authority and most importantly, the duty and responsibility to protect the nation with or without congress.

Excellent post.

Why not use this list for GOP campaign purposes?
Link these to the Dems’ policies. (I know, RINOs are also guilty).

I think TV appeals should be based on:

How much do illegals cost you, the hardworking taxpayer. Let’s look at some data....
and
Here are diseases that are being brought near you and your loved ones by illegals who are not screened for contagious diseases like the people who come here as legal immigrants....

What about the threat to ICE and other officials who have to deal with these jackals?

Thanks for keeping everyone accurate.
Not about any post of mine but I sympathize with others here.

When Michael Savage who has a doctoral degree in epidemiology (I think) says for decades that migrants carry diseases not native to other areas and spread them, and our illegals are doing this, AND NO ONE PUBLICIZES THAT, then where do we get our accurate news?

I do not believe that the MSM suppressing the stories of typhus and antibiotic resistant TB and so on until recently furthers the progress of the American public.

Should we say “the alleged possible fact….” in the “the alleged story” by the alleged writer” “possibly implies, although not proven”, that the sky may in certain cases be dark before a thunderstorm?

Sometimes the skittish press keeps saying “suspect” long after the court case resulted in guilty. Old habit.

Still, thanks for keeping us from going too far out. Possible someone could set us all up by wild stories (as the Govt. does to take the heat off actual CIA work.)

Same as Ruth Bader Ginsberg gets to the gym, the jogging path and the Supreme Court votes.

She gets by with a little help from her friends.

I guess our fathers and grandfathers weren’t “rasis” after all. There was a REASON they had immigration laws. We’re all just a bunch of dip schlitz.

Unlike Ebola, the new virus, spread by the feces of the flying mammals, primarily causes psychosis. It affects only liberals, rendering them batshit crazy.

I am just about an hour from the border Jazusamo. New Mexico is a beautiful state with wonderful people, but it has become CA. In a few more weeks it will be a sanctuary state. There is a bill in the legislature to do this, and bills to allow voter registration up till voting, and to give incarcerated felons the vote. I think I am going back to Tennessee as soon as I can.
