There are reports some migrants are being deported back to their home nation infected with COVID-19 due to lack of screening by ICE at immigration facilities.

More from White House Correspondent April Ryan who speaks with Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security. Deportees are largely returning to Guatemala and Haiti, which do not have strong health care systems.
