Dem senators urge ICE to provide boosters, vaccine 'education’ to detained illegal immigrants
Fox News
Democratic senators are urging the Biden administration to provide COVID-19 boosters, as well as "vaccine and booster education" to illegal immigrants in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, amid fears of rising COVID-19 cases in detention centers.
"In spite of the CDC’s recommendations, ICE is failing to provide COVID-19 booster shots to people in ICE detention," the Democrats write. "As of January 6, 2022, ICE has administered only 671 booster shots nationwide, to the over 22,000 detainees nationwide in ICE custody each day. Advocates have reported to us that booster shots are not being made available to individuals in detention and that even educational materials about booster shots are not uniformly available."
