Ø Today Guatemala pushed back again of a flight. Their foreign ministry said that there were 3 deportees on Wednesday’s flight that had COVID despite the US’s testing program of all deportees to Guatemala. The flight scheduled for today has been postponed and it has been reported that Guatemala is working with the CDC on what new measured need to be taken.

Ø As of today, 986 detainees have tested positive for COVID, up 21 from yesterday. 2,045 have now been tested, up from 250 yesterday. A staggering 48% of those tested have been positive.

-ICE reports that 44 of their detention center staff have tested positive, but to date they HAVE NOT reported their contractor workers. Today they told the House Oversight Committee that at least 82 CoreCivic and GEO Group staff have tested positive. 90 are in quarantine. Combined, that’s at least 124 staff with COVID. What we don’t know is how many have been tested.
