Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) needs stronger COVID-19 protocols at the southwestern border, according to a new report by the DHS Inspector General (IG).
The report also asserts that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), which falls under DHS, "is not able to maintain proper physical distancing in holding facilities due to the current number of migrants illegally entering the United States."
Another problem is that mask protocols that are not being followed by migrants. The report states, "Migrants are constantly reminded of COVID-19 risk but choose not to social distance or wear provided masks."
