The Washington Post: Measles Cases Identified At ICE’s Largest Detention Facility For Children 
Two detainees at the nation’s main immigrant family detention center, in Dilley, Texas, have tested positive for measles, authorities said, alarming lawmakers and attorneys who fear the virus could spread in the crowded facility. The active cases were confirmed by the Texas Department of State Health Services on Jan. 31. The Department of Homeland Security said officials at the South Texas Family Residential Center moved to quarantine anyone who had made contact with the two people and took steps to limit movement of those inside the facility, which is about 70 miles south of San Antonio.

When Gov.

Florida remains the only state in the country the FDA has authorized to import prescription drugs. But the state’s effort has stalled in part because it failed to win over the Canadian drug industry, which has consistently warned the Canadian government that the U.S. program jeopardized the country’s drug supply.

A law that requires all Louisiana public schools to have one camera placed in each special education classroom takes effect on Sunday (Feb. 1). And school leaders in the greater New Orleans area say they’re on track to meet the new requirements.

The new law followed the release of a 2024 audit of state monitoring of special education services that found that most school systems did not have cameras installed, which might have been due to a lack of parent awareness about the law. (Syed, 1/30)
