Iota slammed into Nicaragua as a strong category 4 hurricane just two weeks after Eta, also a category 4 hurricane devastated the country. Iota continued the already record-breaking streak of consecutive seasons with at least one category 5 hurricane.

A COVID-19 outbreak is already present in the facility or will soon be," said Shalyn Fluharty, director of Proyecto Dilley, a legal services group that represents detained families. About 160 people are currently detained at the Dilley facility, well short of its 2,400-person capacity. There is a clear solution, which is the release of families who are currently detained, Fluharty said.
