MEXICO CITY/PORT-AU-PRINCE - Mexico and Haiti have detected coronavirus infections among migrants deported recently from the United States, officials said on Tuesday, part of a growing trend of contagion among deportees.
The new infections come after an outbreak among deportees to Guatemala, where the government at the weekend linked almost a fifth of all cases of the new coronavirus in the country to flights returning migrants from the United States last week.
All three affected countries have far fewer confirmed cases of the disease than the United States.
Three Haitians who arrived in the Caribbean country two weeks ago tested positive while in quarantine, a Health Ministry official told Reuters. The flight had raised objections from human rights advocates worried about exporting the virus to the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country.
In the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo, one man deported from Houston infected 14 others at the Catholic church’s Nazareth migration shelter, state authorities and the city’s bishop said. Cubans, Mexicans, Hondurans and a migrant from Cameroon were among those who caught the virus, officials said. The 15 who tested positive, who include three children 16 years old and under, have been placed in isolation, shelter authorities said.
It is not clear where the deportees contracted the virus, but the new cases led to calls for deportations to be suspended unless U.S. authorities can test migrants before they leave the country.

They didnt get the part that they were illegals in our country and citizens of their country. I have more sympathy for the ICE agents who risk their health arresting these low lifes.
They should not have been here in the first place.
“11-22” are old numbers from “W”s time. 30-35 would be more accurate. Deportations have not made a dent in the actual numbers.

You have to admit it’s pretty funny, third world hellholes quarantining new arrivals from the US.
Since these countries do not seem to bar other travelers from the US, it is hard to see what legal or logical basis they have for asking that seemingly healthy illegals not be repatriated.
Just think of the medical facilities Haiti could have if the Clintons hadn’t stolen the billions from them.
nice to see Reuter’s now believes in the importance of borders.
Reuters has come up with a reason not to deport illegals.
They are so efficient.
“ I tried to crash the US border and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a case of WuFlu”
Hey Squatemala...if you don't want these illegal alien law-breakering POS returning to their home country infected...don't send'em to us in the first place.
If they caught it here, then it's just one more reason to stay in their safe-space sh!tholes.
We’re giving back to them what they have given to us - thousands of deaths.
