WASHINGTON — More than 18 percent of migrant families and 20 percent of unaccompanied minors who recently crossed the U.S. border tested positive for Covid on leaving Border Patrol custody over the past two to three weeks, according to a document prepared this week for a Thursday briefing with President Joe Biden.
Some flights scheduled to deport migrants had more than 25 percent of passengers test positive before departure, leading Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove those migrants from the flights for quarantine in the U.S., according to the document.
A second DHS document prepared this week for the White House says high positivity rates are "straining the capacity of the NGOs and local governments that DHS currently partners with to care for them."
That document attributes the rise of Covid among undocumented immigrants to "the highly transmissible Delta variant combined with lengthier stays in crowded [Customs and Border Protection] facilities."
The high rates have triggered emergency meetings between the White House, HHS and DHS this week, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions.

The biggest super spreader event in the world is covid-positive, illegal aliens gathered together and bused to cities all across the US. And the director of the CDC says th3e solution is to wear masks inside out own homes.
“Migrant”? “Families?” Don’t fall for the left’s Newspeak!
Starving global warming refugees?
If that many are truly testing positive, something extraordinary has to be going on.
You couldn’t expect 20% to test positive in July, 20% in August, 20% in September, etc.
It would most likely represent a peak around here and then you quickly reach herd immunity.
If you did get high numbers like this consistently, then it would have to be different variants that keep running through, so that the same guy test positive, then negative, then positive.
Or, the test are inaccurate.
Move them to DC
Gee, thanks, Joe.
Related. Excellent point made at the link.
All the covid numbers are garbage. Science is a political tool now, since government is the source of their money. They say what the government wants them to say.
This is what both parties colluded to cheat Trump out to get.
Open borders is the highest priority of the Uniparty.
If 18 percent tested positive, that does not mean 82 percent tested negative.
Some may be untested.
20% infection rate x 1,200,000 Biden illegals admitted = 240,000 illegals infected and released to spread the disease within the US.
Hey Hidenbiden, horizontal Harris, close the @#$& border !!!
IIRC, about 150,000 are breaching our southern border each month, which means 27,000 positive cases per month are being allowed into the country.
THREATEN to sue the border agents individually for knowingly spreading COVID and see how the “I was ordered to do it” defense works out for them.
Thank godness that great governor Greg Abbott is talking tough to stop all this nonsense. Its working so well!
