Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins - 🚨 𝐍𝐖𝐒 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 🚨
Since we started this battle against New World screwworm almost 18 months ago under @POTUS, we have not let up for even one day. Here’s exactly what we’ve delivered:
🛡️Bolstered Border Surveillance, Detection, and Staffing
• Implemented 5-Point Plan and Playbook
• Dispersing 100 million sterile flies/week in Mexico and Texas
• Monitoring 100 NWS-specific traps + ~8,000 insect traps
• Expanded NWS staffing 1,000% — from 10 under Biden to 110 now
🪰 Expedited Sterile Fly Production
• Launched sterile fly dispersal facility at Moore Air base (80 million flies/week at max capacity)
• Renovated production facility in Metapa, Mexico (100 million flies/week at max capacity)
• Constructing first domestic sterile fly production facility in nearly two decades (300 million sterile male flies/week)
🏛️ Unprecedented International Collaboration
• Auditing Mexico’s NWS response + risk-based trapping plan
• Supporting Mexico’s hiring of 500+ surge staff
Unprecedented Federal Collaboration
• @CDCgov leading human health surveillance and One Health coordination
