The left is going to have trouble harmonizing their love for illegal aliens with their pro-vaccine rhetoric.
CNN reported that a detention center for illegals at Fort Bliss Army post in Texas is closed to the public due to a measles outbreak. There are 112 people being quarantined, with 14 confirmed active cases. Visitors and attorneys won’t be able to enter for two weeks while officials try to stop the spread.
According to the CNN report, this facility opened last year as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to undo the damage former President Joe Biden did by leaving the southern border open. Measles was declared eliminated in the United States by 2000, but returned in 2025.
For that year, the Associated Press reported in July the worst outbreak in more than three decades. There were 1,288 cases reported at that time, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was likely higher.
