South Texas Police Department Issues Public Health Announcement After COVID-Stricken Migrants Seen ‘Coughing, Sneezing’ At Whataburger

HIDALGO COUNTY, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – The La Joya Police Department issued a public health announcement after an officer approached an undocumented migrant family at Whataburger who told him Border Patrol released them because they had COVID-19.

On July 26 the police department of the small town along the Rio Grande and Mexican border shared details of the incident. They said a concerned citizen at the restaurant waved down the officer. The citizen told him about the family “coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths and not wearing face masks.” Whataburger management also told the officer that they wanted the group to leave as well due to “their disregard to other people’s health.”

In addition to telling the officer that Border Patrol had released them days prior due to their coronavirus status, the family said a charity group had paid for their room at the nearby Texas Inn Hotel. The officer followed up on that information, finding out that Catholic Charities of The Rio Grande Valley had booked all the rooms in the hotel to house undocumented immigrants detained by Border Patrol. He saw a group of 20 to 30 people staying at the hotel who were “out and about.” Most of them weren’t wearing masks, according to the officer.

Police said they learned that Border Patrol was quarantining other undocumented individuals who were COVID positive, or showed symptoms of illness, then handing them over to the non-profit. Catholic Charities would in turn place the undocumented individuals in hotels in the McAllen area as well as La Joya.

The police department said it contacted Hidalgo County Health and Human Services for help and was told that the agency would look into the matter.

Why isn’t it a Crime to Commit a Bio-Weapon attack on a State by Federal Officials??

Who Ordered the Border Patrol to commence this Biological Warfare against the State of Texas?

Sure sounds like an ACT OF WAR to me?

When you start Arresting and Prosecuting those that Ordered this Terrorist Attack, it will STOP!

I believe the Biden Administration is conducting germ warfare on American citizens.

These are government-sanctioned invaders.

Shoot them!

It’s just like the drug users being set free while punishing the sellers.
It’s all backward. This group of users are now our homeless. Wrong in the beginning will never end right.

Tell that to the media.

It seems like there’s a Pulitzer Prize (I know…but that prize means something to someone and it used to be meritorious), award winning story to be told to the majority of the uninformed people in this country about our tyrannical government spreading the illegals and the medieval diseases they carry out into America during the cover of darkness.

Instead we get stories like the one where Jay Inslee the dumbest governor ever elected…ever…anywhere, claims the latest outbreak is a result of President Trump voters “bioreactor facilities” spreading the China flu in Washington.

Besides COVID (and crime, drugs, anchor babies, and bed bugs), what other diseases are they bringing with them?

Better if resident Biden were charged with domestic terrorism.

Remember the quaint days when any gathering of two or more perfectly healthy, asymptomatic people was deemed a super spreader event and demonized in the media 24/7?

Now we have entire infected families of ignorant and non compliant illegal aliens being housed in group home shelter/incarceration situations that become covid incubators and then transported in secret to places unknown across the country.
