(CNN) Dozens of members of Congress on Monday called upon US Customs and Border Protection to reverse its decision not to vaccinate migrants against the flu. The agency's decision not to vaccinate is "unconscionable and continues to endanger the health and safety of migrant families, CBP personnel, and the American public," according to a letter sent by 65 Democratic legislators to US Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan. The letter was obtained exclusively by CNN. "CBP's inability to act with urgency to save lives is a stain on our nation's history," Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut who spearheaded the letter, told CNN. A CBP spokesperson did not immediately respond to CNN's inquiries about the letter.
