DILLEY, Texas – Two people detained at the South Texas Family Residential Center have active measles infections, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed the infections Saturday, according to a statement from DHS.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement quarantined all individuals suspected of making contact with those infected, DHS said, and it ceased all movement within the facility.
DHS said medical staff are continuing to monitor their conditions and will take steps to prevent further infection.
KSAT 12 has reached out to U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, who toured the facility Wednesday, for comment.
