Texas Measles Outbreak Nears 500, Spreads to Day Cares

More from the article ...

... Six young children at a Lubbock, Texas, day care center have tested positive for measles -- a dreaded scenario with the potential to accelerate an already out-of-control outbreak that has spread to at least two other states.

More than a dozen other states and Washington, D.C. are dealing with cases of measles unrelated to Texas.

On Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services said the toll rose to 481 confirmed cases, a 14% jump over last week. Fifty-six people have been hospitalized in the area since the disease started spreading in late January.

At the Tiny Tots U Learning Academy, a center with approximately 230 infants, toddlers and preschool-age children, the outbreak began on March 24, when a little girl who had been sick with fever and vomiting tested positive. She later needed to be hospitalized for pneumonia and trouble breathing.

Kids who have tested positive at the day care so far are between the ages of 5 months and 3 years old, said Maegan Messick, a co-owner of the center. None was fully vaccinated against measles. ...

Going back to the topic of this thread...

The important, imo, issue of Due Process.

(and I do not capitalize those words lightly.)

Then, there's this ...

OK, another view ...

Judge orders return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

... A federal judge ruled Friday that a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador must be returned to the U.S. by Monday, April 7.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported to a supermax prison on March 15, despite a protection order granted in 2019 that should have kept him from being sent to El Salvador. He filed a lawsuit against several federal officials demanding to be returned to the U.S.

"Thank you to everyone that has helped us and supported us in fighting this," Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer, told a crowd outside of the courthouse following the ruling, a statement from the advocacy organization CASA said.

"We will continue fighting this. The first thing I am going to do when I see him is give him a big hug," she said.

ICE officials blamed an "administrative error" and an "oversight" for Abrego Garcia's deportation, but did not take action to rectify the mistake. ...

@#10 ... ICE officials blamed an "administrative error" and an "oversight" for Abrego Garcia's deportation, but did not take action to rectify the mistake. ...

Yeah,an oversight and/or an administrative error.

And, that is A Good Thing?

Why?

@#9 ...My brother, a retired doctor and RINO, has gone surprisingly silent. ...

Hopefully, your family's next Thanksgiving gathering will be warm.

@#13 ... As if those were the only two employees not fired by DOGE. ...

Yeah, as your comment seems to note...

If you are not on board with the unfettered adulation of Der Leader, your career is toast.

(and, fwiw, I do note the unsurprising lack of comments from the MAGA troll farm here on this thread ...)

@#15 ... Luckily, (VERY luckily), I grew up in a household where we all teased each other. Never mean, never personal...just trying to make the other laugh. ...

Yeah, same for my family.
