Measles Outbreak Halts ICE Facility; Iran Warns of "Regional War"

Measles Outbreak at Texas Detention Center Prompts Quarantine

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) halted all movement at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas after two detainees were confirmed to have active measles infections, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The cases were detected on Friday, according to DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

The facility, located in south Texas about an hour's drive from San Antonio, houses parents and children taken into federal custody over alleged immigration law violations. "ICE Health Services Corps immediately took steps to quarantine and control further spread and infection, ceasing all movement within the facility and quarantining all," McLaughlin said.

In related news, five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, asylum seekers who were detained by federal agents last week and sent to a Texas detention facility, arrived back in Minneapolis on Sunday after a judge ordered the government to release them, ABC News reported. "I'm happy to finally be going home," Conejo Arias, who is originally from Ecuador, told ABC News' John Quiñones in an exclusive interview as the pair flew from San Antonio back to Minneapolis. "Liam is very happy to be going back," Conejo Arias added. "He's going to see his mom and his brother again," Liam's father told ABC News.
