Measles cases prompt quarantine, other steps at ICE facility in Texas

U.S. immigration officials have quarantined some migrants and halted "all movement" after two measles cases were confirmed among detainees at its facility in south Texas, the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday.



The cases at Dilley Immigration Processing Center were confirmed by the state's health department on Saturday, DHS said, adding that "all detainees are being provided with proper medical care."



"ICE Health Services Corps immediately took steps to quarantine and control further spread and infection, ceasing all movement within the facility and quarantining all individuals suspected of making contact with the infected," the department wrote, adding that medical staff would continue to monitor the

situation and take steps to prevent further infection.
