Given the recent events that has happened within the last 24 hours, U.S. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) issued the following statement: “In the wake of the first confirmed case of Ebola in New York City, the Obama administration must reassess the strength of the measures put into place to protect the health and safety of our residents. All options should be on the table in the fight against Ebola, including a possible ban on nonessential travel origination in the source, West African nations.” -Kaia
