Hundreds of Covid positive illegals quarantined in El Paso hotels

 National Review:

The City of El Paso, Texas is currently quarantining 285 migrants who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19-positive family members, one week after federal authorities emptied the makeshift migrant camp under the international bridge in Del Rio, where thousands of Haitian migrants had amassed after illegally crossing the border.

“From the onset of the pandemic, the City has operated a non-congregate isolation and quarantine program for vulnerable populations to include homeless and migrants that are COVID positive,” said City of El Paso Strategic Communications Director Laura Cruz-Acosta in a statement to National Review.

“We are currently providing quarantine and isolation at two hotels for 285 migrants which include Haitians recently released to our local NGO by immigration officials,” she said. “Positive cases and exposed family members remain together in a hotel room for 10 days.”

The news comes one week after the Del Rio camp was cleared as the U.S. government relocated roughly 16,000 people, 12,000 of whom were released in to the U.S. with orders to appear at an immigration proceeding at some point in the future. The average asylum hearing occurs two and a half years after a migrant crosses the border illegally and a majority of migrants don’t show up to the proceeding.

A Homeland Security spokesperson told CNN on Wednesday that roughly 4,600 Haitians had been removed from the U.S. on 43 repatriation flights from Texas to Haiti since September 19.

The quarantined are receiving food and medical care.  They evidently are illegals who showed symptoms when they crossed the border into the US.  Those who were not symptomatic were not tested for the virus and have been transferred to places inside the US where the Biden administration is dumping illegals.
