In accordance with the President's Proclamation and at the direction of Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf, the restrictions will begin for flights commencing after 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 2nd, and will direct the arrival of U.S. citizens who have traveled in China within 14 days of their arrival to one of seven designated airports, where the United States Government has enhanced public health resources in order to implement enhanced screening procedures. The administration is taking these actions to protect the American people. Additionally, U.S. citizens who have been in Hubei province within 14 days of their return will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine to ensure they are provided proper medical care and health scree ning. U.S . citizens who have been in other areas of mainland China within 14 days of their return will undergo proactive entry hea lth screening and up to 14 days of self-quarantine with health monitoring to ensure they have not contracted the virus and do not pose a public health risk. Generally, foreign nationals (other than immediate fam ily of U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and flight crew) who have traveled in China within 14 days of their arrival , will be deni ed entry into the United States. "While the overa ll risk to the American public remains low, funneling all flights with passengers who have recently been in China is the most important and prudent step we can take at this time to decr ease the stra in on public health offic ials screen ing incoming trave lers. These steps will also exped ite the processing of U .S. citizens returning from China, and ensure resources are focused on the health and safety of the American people ," said DHS Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf. "We realize this could provide added stress and prolong travel times for some individuals, however public health and security experts agree these measures are necessary to contain the virus and protect the American people. To minimize disruptions, CBP and air carriers are working to identify qualifying passengers before their scheduled flights. Once back in the U.S., it's imperative that individuals honor self-quarantine directives to help protect the American public ." DHS-20-0629-A-000001 "The American public can be assured that DHS and its component agencies are taking decisive action to analyze the threat, minimize risk, and slow the spread of the virus by working close ly with CDC health professionals and interagency partners involved in this whole-of-government effort," he added. DHS and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have coordinated extensively with air carriers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to designate the seven U.S . airports at which CDC will seek to identify potentially ill persons. Americans flying to the United States from China will be re-routed to the following airports at no cost to the traveler: • John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York; • Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), Illinois ; • San Francisco International Airport (SFO), California; • Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Washington; • Daniel K. Inouye International Airpo1t (HNL), Hawaii; • Los Angeles International Airport, (LAX), California; and • Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International A irport (A TL), Georgia. Although the CDC expects more cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., the risk of infection for Americans remains low, and all agencies are working aggressively to monitor this continuously evolving situation and to keep the public educated and informed: • American air travelers should be aware that if they have been to China in the last 14 days , they will be routed through one of seven airports to undergo enhanced health screenings. • Any individual traveling from China who has either been in Hubei Province or other areas of the mainland and is showing symptoms associated with the virus will be screened and subject to mandatory quarantine by medical professionals at a nearby facility. • If a trave ler who spent time in China, but outside the Hubei province, is re-routed through one of the seven airports and shows no symptoms following a health screen ing, they will be re-booked to their destination and asked to "self-quarantine" at their homes. • CBP and air carriers are working together to identify and rebook any passengers that meet these criteria, however other travelers without a nexus to China may also be routed through one of DHS-20-0629-A-000002 these seven airports if it is discovered mid-flight that someone else on their flight has been in China in the last 14 days. • Travelers showing symptoms should be prepared for the possibility of prolonged delay to avoid spreading the infection.

Confirming Secretary Wolf for Monday in DC with Lou. Can you please send me topics and hit time by 2PM today? One topic to consider is the article below about a town in Guatemala that used to be a hub for smugglers to pick people up. Heather Swift Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs (A) U.S. Department of Homeland Security Texas Tribune: 1,000 migrants a day made this tiny Guatemala town a smuggler's paradise. The business has dried up. LA TECNICA,GUATEMALA- The tiny town on the edge of the river would stick out even if it weren't so isolated, even if it didn't rise up from the j ungle like some forgotten Mayan village, only with motor boats instead of dugout canoes. It got its start as a sustainable logging cooperative in the late '70s, but a big wildfire ruined all that. Ever since, La Tecnica, Guatemala, has been dedicated to what the locals call "tourism." And it is tourism, sort of. Traditional tourists do regularly come through this remote patch of the Lacandon Jungle - mainly well-off Mexicans, Americans and Europeans. But La Tecnica is more launching pad than destination, and more recently it has specialized in a different kind of tourism: human migration. A DHS-20-0629-A-000021 few months ago, this town was humming with it. There's no official count, but local business owners say hundreds a day - and sometimes well over 1,000 - were passing through La Tecnica into southern Mexico and, after that, all points north. Not anymore. On a mid-November afternoon, all the boats were tied to the dock, waiting for passengers. Two boat operators were calmly assessing the condition of an outboard motor. A couple of dogs lazily wrestled in the middle of La Tecnica's main strip, its only paved road, which descends like a boat ramp down to the broad Usumacinta River dividing Mexico and Guatemala. "Cambia! Cambia! Cambia!" Rolando Argueta Lopez called out. A bus had just arrived, but there were no takers for his money exchange services. His restaurant, Comedor Jehova, sat all but empty. It used to be full. "People are worried," Argueta Lopez said. "Not only here but in all of Guatemala, and even in Mexico, because when there are many migrants, the bus owners, the taxis - everyone is making money. Today, it has all stopped." Migration can be a fickle business, so this isn't the first time a dip in "tourism" has hit the local economy. But in the last year, there was a major seesaw - first a peak, then this valley. A flood, then a trickle. And if there is one name on the tips of their tongues, the name of the man they blame the most, it's this one: Donald Trump. Despite its tiny size, La Tecnica, population 700 or so, is a major strategic outpost in the human smuggling trade. It sits in a rainforest clearing on the banks of the Usumacinta across from Frontera Corozal, Mexico, and about three hours south of Palenque, which draws a steady flow of tourists because of the nearby sparkling blue waterfalls and well -preserved Mayan ruins. Frontera Corozal draws some of those international travelers, too. That's because the town has a little marina with motorized dinghies DHS-20-0629-A-000022 that will take tourists to the world-class but remote ruins of Yaxchilan, an ancient Mayan city known for its decorative stone sculptures. But the boat owners couldn't survive on the trick le of tourists from Palenque alone . Whi le on any given day a handful of gringos might plunk down $70 to go 45 minutes up river to Yaxchilan, migrants pay $2 to $3 each - all day long when business is good - for the one-way, five-minute trip from La Tecnica to the Mexican side of the river . In seconds, the boats empty out, the migrants slide into taxis or personal cars, and off they go toward the U.S. border. Last fall, when Trump was angrily tweeting about a massive migrant caravan that broke through the gates of a bridge connecting Guatemala and Mexico near Tapachula - about 12 hours south of here - migrants were pouring through La Tecnica essentially unnoticed. There were no immigration officials to stop them, no throng of international media to record their movements and no president tweeting about them . Then, business was booming. The "hotels" flophouses that go for about $10 a night - were at capacity. The restaurants were overflowing with migrant families, typically in the company of their smugglers. And every hour, boats would leave the village for the short ride to Frontera Corozal. "A year ago, we didn't have enough space for everyone," said Marixa Garcia Ramos, a cook at the Cepi Pollo restaurant and hotel. "They would be in here on the floor in the corridor . Now weeks go by without anyone entering the hotel." A few months ago, amid a crackdown stretching from Washington to Mexico City, traffic began to slow - and then it all but stopped . Two restaurants here have already shut down, and Garcia Ramos fears Cepi Pollo will soon follow. Her job is terrible by almost any measure : She makes $6.50 a day working from 5 a.m . to 9 p.m. (or later if people are still eating), and she never has a day off . Still, Garcia Ramos says it's better DHS-20-0629-A-000023 pay than most cook jobs, and if the migrants don't start coming back soon, she'll be looking for work. "If there are no migrants, there are no sales," she said inside the empty restaurant. "That's to say the economy of La Tecnica is the migrants. If there are migrants, there is business. If there are no migrants, there is none." Experts and people on the ground here say there are two big reasons the traffic died down, and both are tied to Trump administration initiatives: the "remain in Mexico" program that requires people to wait out their asylum cases south of the U.S. border, and Trump's threat to slap tariffs on Mexico unless it cracked down on migrants crossing through the country on the way to the United States. Mexico's leftist president, fearful of economic turmoil, responded by putting thousands of uniformed troops from his fledgling National Guard - ostensibly created to help combat cartel -fueled violence - on migrant patrol duty along the country's international borders. The results are stark . The number of migrants taken into custody at the U.S.-Mexico border went from a high of 144,116 in May down to 42,649 in November, a 70% drop, U.S. Border Patrol figures show. It was a remarkably busy year even with the downturn: A record number of migrant families crossed the border in fiscal 2019, and the total number of migrants (including families and individuals) taken into custody at and between the ports of entry during the period - nearly 1 million - reached the highest level since 2007. The remain in Mexico program in particular - a policy formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols - has changed the calculus for migrants in a way that previous efforts failed to achieve. Before MPP, those traveling with families had the expectation that they would be freed by U.S. authorities after a few days. That's because under the Flores agreement, a court settlement aimed at ensuring humane treatment of migrant kids in federal custody, undocumented families with DHS-20-0629-A-000024 children apprehended in the U.S. generally must be released from federal custody within 20 days. So in recent years, most asylum-seeking families were able to cross the border, ask for asylum, and then live and work in the United States while their cases inched their way throug h clogged immigration courts. For many, it was worth the hassle and expense even if they eventually lost their asylum cases. Now tens of thousands of migrants are being sent right back across the border to Mexico - where there's no guaranteed shelter, limited access to legal services, and the ever-present peril of falling into the hands of cartels who kidnap and extort them for every peso they can shake loose. That dramatically increases the risk - and reduces the payoff - of migrating. 'This is a huge change. You're now waiting for your asylum cases in Mexican border cities versus inside the United States, beginning to work in U.S. jobs, sending your kids to U.S. schools," said Stephanie Leutert, a migration expert at the University of Texas at Austin . "It's a very precarious situation. And so for this population, you're seeing them just choosing to not go north anymore - to look for other options ." The sudden shift has made Trump a four -letter word on the streets of La Tecnica, where businesses catering to migrants blame him for the slowdown even if they are unfamiliar with the legal intricacies of the MPP program his administration launched . Before the crackdown, "they gave [migrants] a benefit if the mother and father came with a child," explained Oscar Marroquin, who owns La Mexicana restaurant in La Tecnica. "Trump said ... no more minors," he went on. "Since then, people stopped coming." Marroquin laughed when asked if the American president got what he wanted . "It helped Trump," he said. "But not us." DHS-20-0629-A-000025 In the wake of the international crackdown, traditional migration patterns have begun to reemerge. By October, Mexico returned to its familiar role as the leading single source of undocumented migrants, displacing Central Americans who made up a surge of "family unit " crossings from the Northern Triangle countries (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador) that overwhelmed U.S. authorities earlier this year . Meanwhile, shelter operators in Mexico say they're seeing on the ground what statistics have begun to show: It's mostly single adults making the journey now. Oscar Cruz Martinez runs the Most Holy Trinity Catholic shelter in Nuevo Francisco Leon. It's the first shelter migrants reach after leaving La Tecnica; given the influx in 2019, he's expanded it with help from the United Nations. "In the last few months, we have received more men and more young people than women," he said. "In the last year, we received a lot of families, many kids, many women . That has gone down a lot." Another big change: Many of the migrants, including asylum-seeking families, are scaling back their travel ambitions. "In the past years, their goal was to get to the United States. All of them," Cruz Martinez said. "Now if it's not the United States, it's Mexico, because they say the borders are dangerous, that the president of the United States increased security and they can't get in." One family that recently migrated through La Tecnica demonstrates the new reality. Bus driver Walter Sanchez Reyes, 40, fled Tegucigalpa, Honduras, with his wife and five kids after a Barrio 18 gang member shot him in the jaw with a chrome - plated pistol in July. During an interview in Palenque, Sanchez Reyes spread out bloody pictures, news articles and X-rays on a banquet table to prove he was telling the truth. DHS-20-0629-A-000026 11 1heard the shot," Sanchez Reyes recalled. 11 1saw everything in slow motion, like empty, and I could hear an echo." He managed to open the door to the bus and dodged a hail of bullets before being taken to the hospital, where he stayed a month. Although he'd like to reach the U.S. eventually, Sanchez Reyes was already deported from the U.S. once, in 2008, and for now he and his family feel safe in Mexico. He turned himself in to immigration authorities near Palenque last month and is working there while he waits for a visa. 11 1will do what is possible to have them see my case [in the U.S.]," Sanchez Reyes said, 11 and if it is not possible, I will stay in Mexico because I cannot go back to Honduras." This time last year, migrant families like Sanchez Reyes' weren't weighing their options in southern Mexico. They were getting to the U.S. border as fast as they could, and they telegraphed their successes to friends and relatives back home - via WhatsApp messages, social media posts and phone calls, said Leutert, the UT researcher. Now she says that feedback loop is playing a different tune: 11 Regardless of if you're a family or an individual, you are going to be sent back to Mexico. And that message has also made a mark and has been heard in Central America." That may be just what Trump wanted, but Leutert said it's come at a high human cost, as migrants endure shakedowns, sexual violence and even murder in dicey border towns while they await their turn in U.S. immigration court. 11 lf you're looking only at the number of people who are arriving at the border, yes, you can claim success," she said. 11 But if you begin looking at the conditions these people are in, the crimes that are being committed against them ... the picture doesn't look as great." Back in La Tecnica, old timers like Marroquin, who owns a tour boat in addition to La Mexicana restaurant, say they've lived through both boom DHS-20-0629-A-000027 times and bust, and they figure this downturn will pass just like the others have. Marroqu in has lived in La Tecnica since 1994 and doesn't plan on leaving. He noted there are still Mayan ruins nearby in Yaxchilan, Bonampak and Tikal to draw stray tourists. And this town will always be just a stone's throw from Mexico. "Because we're on the edge of the river, people always come, just like you came," he said.

Contact your component SOCwith questions or concerns. Hi Heather, Just following up on this - the hit with the Acting Secretary will be at 8:30pm tonight. So, if he is at the DC bureau by about 8pm, that would be great. We'll do t he bul k of the interview on DHS's responses and measures that have been and could be taken to combat coronavirus, but we will finish the interview with a question to the announcement regarding NY state that you sent over. If there is any info on either of those topics that you can send over (that we don't already have and should have), that would be appreciated! Please let me know whatever else you may need. Thank you! Regards, Kelly McNa lly Senior Producer/Booker, Tucker Carlson Tonight 1211 Avenue of the Americas, 18th Floor New York, NY 10036 r )(6) From: Swift, Heather j~
