At least three minors in U.S. immigration custody have died from complications from the flu since December 2018.
A group of doctors and other protesters were arrested by federal authorities in California this week as they attempted to pressure U.S. Customs and Border Protection to administer flu vaccines to detained migrant children.
They were cited for failing to “comply with the lawful directions of a federal police officer” and later released with an order to appear in federal court, the Union-Tribune said. “Of course Border Patrol isn’t going to let a random group of radical political activists show up and start injecting people with drugs,” the press secretary of the Department of Homeland Security said in a Tuesday statement.
