Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) said on Monday that President Donald Trump’s administration is “exporting†the coronavirus to countries like Guatemala by deporting illegal immigrants who have the virus back to their countries of origin.
Torres told CBS News that countries like Guatemala “don’t have the number of the test kits available to even understand what has already been brought and exported to their countries.â€
“I do believe that the U.S. is exporting the virus,†Torres reportedly said.
According to CBS News, “at least 99 migrants recently deported to Guatemala by the U.S. have tested positive for coronavirus as of Sunday, according to the nation’s public health ministry.â€
In addition, “deportees from the U.S. make up nearly 20% of the 500 coronavirus cases in Guatemala, which has had 15 pandemic-related deaths.â€
Guatemala has reportedly said it will “only permit the resumption of regular deportation flights once the U.S. improves its screening protocols.â€
