Vice News reporter returns to US from Italy and isn't screened for COVID-19

Link to tweet

Julia Lindau ✔@julialindau

I just landed at JFK after reporting on #coronavirus in Milan and Lombardy —the epicenter of Italy’s outbreak— for @vicenews. I walked right through US customs. They didn’t ask me where in Italy I went or if I came into contact with sick people. They didn’t ask me anything.

They aren't going to stop them.

The reporter had a pic in her tweet. Young white woman.

I'm being facetious, but ICE does seem to focus on poc.
