In a statement released July 17, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared that “it is working with federal, state, local, and non-governmental partners in response activities related to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), including public health outreach among dairy/cattle farms and their workers.
“In light of these circumstances, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) remind the public that testing and vaccination sites are considered protected areas. To the fullest extent possible, ICE and CBP do not conduct immigration enforcement activities at protected areas where such medical or public health outreach is being conducted.”
