据国土安全部称,被拘留在德克萨斯州迪利移民拘留中心的两人被证实患有活动性麻疹感染。
DHS周日表示,ICE卫生服务公司“立即”采取措施隔离被拘留者,以“控制进一步传播和感染”
该机构表示,该设施内的所有活动已经停止,所有被怀疑与感染者接触的人都被隔离。
这座名为南德克萨斯家庭住宅中心的设施是5岁的利亚姆·科内霍·拉莫斯和他的父亲阿德里安·科内霍·阿里亚斯被关押的地方,周六法官下令释放他们。
这对父子周日回到了明尼阿波利斯。
根据疾病控制和预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)的最新数据,拘留设施出现麻疹病例的消息传来之际,今年迄今为止,美国各地已确诊至少588例麻疹病例。
美国在大约一个月的时间里出现的病例超过了通常一整年的记录。
在美国,今年至少有17个州报告了麻疹病例,包括亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、爱达荷州、肯塔基州、明尼苏达州、内布拉斯加州、北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州、俄勒冈州、南卡罗来纳州、南达科他州、犹他州、弗吉尼亚州、华盛顿州和威斯康星州。
几乎所有病例都与疫苗接种不足或未接种社区的持续爆发有关。
疾控中心目前建议人们接受两剂麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹(MMR)疫苗,第一剂在12至15个月大时,第二剂在4至6岁之间。疾病预防控制中心说,一剂有效率为93%,两剂有效率为97%。
然而,联邦数据显示,疫苗接种率近年来一直滞后。在2024-2025学年期间,92.5%的幼儿园儿童接种了MMR疫苗据资料显示。这低于上一学年的92.7%和新冠肺炎疫情之前的2019-2020学年的95.2%。
2 measles cases reported inside Dilley, Texas, immigration detention center: DHS
Two people detained at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas, were confirmed to have active measles infections, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS said on Sunday the ICE Health Services Corp "immediately" took steps to quarantine the detainees to "control further spread and infection."
The agency said all movement within the facility has ceased and all individuals suspected of making contact with those infected are quarantined.
The facility, the South Texas Family Residential Center, was where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were being held before a judge ordered their release on Saturday.
The father and son arrived back in Minneapolis on Sunday.
The news of the measles cases at the detention facility comes as at least 588 measles cases have been confirmed so far this year across the United States, according to updated data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The U.S. has seen more cases in about one month than is typically recorded in an entire year.
Across the U.S., at least 17 states have reported measles cases this year, including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
Almost all cases are tied to ongoing outbreaks in pockets of undervaccinated or unvaccinated communities.
The CDC currentlyrecommendsthat people receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, the first at ages 12 to 15 months and the second between 4 and 6 years old. One dose is 93% effective, and two doses are 97% effective against measles, the CDC says.
However, federal data shows vaccination rates have been lagging in recent years. During the 2024-2025 school year,92.5% of kindergartners received the MMR vaccine, according to data. This is lower than the 92.7% seen in the previous school year and the 95.2% seen in the 2019-2020 school year, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
