PHOENIX — Editor's note: The above video is from a previous story about the mayor of Yuma, Ariz. signing an emergency proclamation declaring an imminent threat in response to the increased release of migrants in the community.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said a child in a Yuma border patrol facility was diagnosed with strep throat after previously reporting Thursday that she had measles.
The Arizona Department of Health Services also clarified the girl does not have the highly contagious disease.
The 8-year-old and her father were part of a group of 39 people who illegally crossed the Colorado River together at County 9th Street near Yuma, according to the CBP news release. The girl and her father were quarantined.
The CBP release continued on to note that Yuma Sector is currently more than double its recommended detention capacity with more than 1,000 people in custody.
Earlier this week, the mayor of Yuma declared a state of emergency to deal with the number of families being released from Border Patrol custody into the city.
This story was updated to reflect the information provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services that the girl did not have measles.
