Arrest Warrant Issued for Possible Illegal Alien with Drug-Resistant Strain of Tuberculosis

Breitbart

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors in Central California have obtained an arrest warrant for a tuberculosis patient who they say is contagious and has refused treatment.

San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Stephen Taylor said Thursday that police are looking for 25-year-old Eduardo Rosas Cruz, a transient who comes from a part of Mexico known for a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.    

Tuberculosis spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze, or otherwise expel air from their lungs. The disease can be deadly.

Prosecutors say Rosas Cruz was diagnosed in March when he went to the hospital for treatment of a severe cough. He was supposed to stay in a motel room, where a health worker would deliver his medication and watch him take it. But prosecutors say he took off.

  1. wow… an arrest warrant. Why don’t you let him cough all across the city for another few weeks first?

    He should have been shot dead when he was trying to cross the border, and he wouldn’t be putting entire cities at risk today.
