BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) - Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are suing the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas over a woman from China who illegally came into the country and might have exposed hundreds of inmates to a rare form of tuberculosis. The woman was transported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to facilities in Monroe, Basile and Lafayette. The lawsuit claims the woman came into contact with more than 200 detainees and an unknown number of employees in those facilities. The lawsuit states she “carries a rare, aggressive, and drug-resistant form of tuberculosis, which carries high mortality rates.” Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham has ordered that the woman be isolated. He also has ordered that no detainees from those facilities be released until the Louisiana Department of Health has medically cleared them. Judge to decide if Ten Commandments can be posted in Louisiana classrooms The state is bringing the lawsuit due to ICE announcing it will release potentially infected detainees from two facilities without medical clearance. The lawsuit states “by ICE’s telling, its hands are tied once its immigration-based detention authority runs out.” The emergency lawsuit asks for two key things: “An immediate temporary restraining order, and then a preliminary and a permanent injunction, preventing ICE and its contract facilities from releasing any detainee unless and until the Louisiana Department of Health has medically cleared that detainee." "If the Court deems it necessary, an order to CDC to immediately show cause why it should not issue an order pursuant to Title 42 of the U.S. Code, requiring the isolation and/or quarantine of detainees at the two contract facilities unless and until they are medically cleared by the Louisiana Department of Health.” The lawsuit states the woman has been in Louisiana since July. She was in the general population of the Basile facility with around 174 other detainees, some of whom have already been deported, transferred, relocated, or released.
