The Trump administration's plan to send Americans exposed to Ebola to Kenya has encountered legal challenges. The administration had proposed setting up a quarantine and treatment facility in Laikipia, Kenya, approximately 120 miles north of Nairobi, instead of repatriating citizens for care in specialized facilities in the U.S. The facility was intended to have 50 beds and was expected to be operational on May 29. However, the Katiba Institute, an organization advocating for constitutional rights in Kenya, filed a petition that has stalled the plan.
