Migrants deported by U.S. make up more than 15% of Guatemala's coronavirus cases
Yahoo News, May 4, 2020, LA Times


(Illegal) Immigrants are led onto a flight in the United States.

Guatemalan officials said Monday they would begin routinely accepting U.S. deportation flights again after being promised that every passenger would first have to test negative for the novel coronavirus.

The country halted the flights two weeks ago after scores of passengers turned out to be infected with COVID-19.

As of Monday, 117 deportees on four flights from the U.S. had tested positive for the virus, according to the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry. They account for more than 15% of all infections in the country.

Guatemala accepted one flight last week after U.S. immigration authorities said they had screened all 89 deportees for the virus. But it remained unclear whether such flights would resume on a regular basis.

Under the new guidelines laid out by Guatemalan officials, the number of deportees on each flight would drop from about 100 to about 75.

On Monday, 76 Guatemalan deportees arrived on a flight from Houston and immediately underwent medical examinations.

"None presented symptoms," said Alejandra Mena, spokeswoman for the country's Migration Institute.

Three more flights were scheduled for this week, Guatemalan officials said.

Darn right!  Not sure why @Right_in_Virginia posted.  But many migrants coming through Mexico have COVID.  Many are our problem because migrant workers are an exception to Trumps EO.  So many are coming to work on farms and spread their COVID.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

What, allegedly, do Trump's EOs have to do with Guatemalan deportees?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
