Texas Border city of Laredo Confirms its First Delta Variant after Suing the Biden administration claiming Migrant Policies are Leaving Citizens at Risk of getting COVID
The
coronavirus Delta variant reached Laredo,
Texas this week as the southern border city moved to sue the Biden administration for transferring mass amounts of illegal migrants to the community.
One case of the highly contagious strain of COVID-19 was confirmed in Laredo on Monday.
The city has also expressed concerns over the transfer of illegal crossers who have not yet been vaccinated as it could lead to a spike in COVID cases in the community.
'The release of people who are COVID-19 positive and/or have been exposed to someone who is COVID-19 positive poses a danger that this city and country have endeavored to remedy since the inception of this pandemic,' the claim from Laredo against the Biden administration states.
'Unfortunately, the federal government has left this public health concern to be tackled by our local government with no considerations of the city's little to no resources nor regard for the deadly ramifications it could have on the country,' it adds.
