Mumps has swept through 57 immigration detention facilities in 19 states since September, according to the first US 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.

“My plan is working!”
The invaders are bringing diseases.
Whoda thunk it.
Is migrant another name for illegal immigrant?
Just wait for the plague to hit LA.
Not ‘migrants’.
ILLEGAL ALIENS
I need an MMR vaccine.
Mumps
Measles
Rubella
I approached my physician about this a while back, and he assured me Mumps wasn’t coming back.
I’m not so sure.
since sept 2018? ...i wish they would clarify what they write. Or is it me not understanding something here
Oh yeah?
Well you’re a racist!
After days and weeks of treatments by my doctor, who claimed “the US no longer has whooping cough,” only to learn by way of a news story on TV, that “the CDC has seen reported cases of whooping cough in both children and adults!”
We’ve had no children living at home for more than 15-20 years, nor do I work at a daycare facility, don’t teach kids Sunday School nor VBS and the closest neighborhood kids live at least two blocks away........but did learn that a guy who worked at our local grocery store, sacking groceries, was off “due to his recent outbreak of whooping cough!”
After the occasion of returning to my local doctor, I brought up the fact that I had been suffering the effects of whooping cough, my doc admitted he had seen some other “suspicious symptoms,” closely resembling whooping cough!
If I were you, I’d see about getting some MMR and/or DPT booster shots to avoid contracting these “formerly childhood diseases,” as they can kill those of us who suffer chronic upper respiratory illnesses.
Will AOC say ,let them go ,LOL
Migrants? WTF! These are not migrants. They are invaders with third world disease.
I hope leftists are feeling better about themselves now. Bringing disease and rot into America. So proud.
Are you unvaccinated or only had 1 vaccination and not the recommended two?
Go to your county health clinic. They are far more currently educated on outbreaks and vaccinations than your GP because it’s in their actual job description and their federal grants depend on it.
And if you haven’t yet, get vaccinated for shingles and pneumococcal disease because those are prevalent in the 60+ crowd.
Adult invaders getting mumps! Excellent!
There is a form of Tetanus that includes MMR (I believe “TDAP” is the name) that has been around a bit. DRs in these parts push it on anyone that hasn’t had exposure or vaccines in decades. They can’t deny a tetanus shot.
Thanks for the mention.
Another issue for me was Chickenpox, but when he ran tests he found that I had taken the vaccine, as I suspected I may have years ago.
I will notify his office to have MMR and DPT (contains Tetanus too) vaccines on hand for my next visit.
I may not have a lot of years left, but it’s silly not to have these vaccines when the are readily available.
My. bad. TDAP protects against diptheria and whooping cough in addition to tentanus. The CDC recommends adults that haven’t have this get a one time dose. But the nurse that gave it to me said they were also recommending MMR refreshers for those that haven’t had it in years due to the recurrences.
We didn’t used to let in contagious foreigners.
I am so very happy I got the MMR vaccine this past spring.
