Republicans criticize Texas release of COVID-positive illegal immigrants: 'Stop these individuals'
Fox News
A North Carolina congressman is demanding that N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper "take action to protect our state" after it has emerged that more than 100 illegal immigrants released by the Border Patrol into Texas since late January have tested positive for the coronavirus -- and aren’t being prevented from traveling elsewhere.
Fox News, citing a spokesperson for the city of Brownsville, Texas, reported Wednesday that 108 migrants there -- since Jan. 25 -- have tested positive for the coronavirus following their arrival. "In order to protect the safety of our constituents and uphold the rule of law, I am requesting you use all resources available to stop these individuals, place them in quarantine and get them whatever healthcare they may require," Hudson wrote in a letter addressed to Cooper, a Democrat. The DHS projects a record number of unaccompanied migrant children entering the U.S. in 2021; former Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan reacts to Democrats calling the situation a 'challenge' instead of a 'crisis.'More Related News
