U.S. Border Patrol agents have quarantined nearly three dozen migrants who were being held at the agency’s main processing facility in McAllen after they were found to be infected with the influenza virus, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said Wednesday.
To stop the spread of the flu, CBP temporarily halted operations at its Central Processing Center on Tuesday, a day after the death of 16-year-old Carlos Hernandez Vasquez, who had been detained at the facility and had tested positive for influenza.
