Trump Administration Diverted Ebola-Exposed Americans to Europe
The Trump administration refused to allow Americans potentially exposed to Ebola to return home, instead routing them to Berlin and Prague — a move officials declined to explain clearly while denying any refusal of entry. The incident has drawn scrutiny as the CDC simultaneously tightens entry screening tied to Ebola outbreaks in East and Central Africa, and an Air France flight from Paris to Detroit was diverted to Montreal after US authorities refused landing over a separate "virus" concern.
