According to a press release issued by the CDC:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under statutory authority of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, has issued federal quarantine orders to all 195 United States citizens who repatriated to the U.S. on January 29, 2020. The quarantine will last 14 days from when the plane left Wuhan, China.
The CDC is not wrong in issuing this order, since isolation is the only truly effective way to spread this highly infectious viral strain. However, it represents a sobering milestone, realizing that Americans can now be imprisoned against their will on U.S. soil, and that the severity of the outbreak has already reached the point where the CDC's concern about the spread of the virus has resulted in the kind of quarantine order that hasn't been used since the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak.
Again, the CDC is not wrong to do this. In fact, they would have been dangerously wrong if they failed to do this. Given that these 195 Americans are straight out of Wuhan, holding them for 14 days is the prudent thing to do, especially when considering the fact that this coronavirus strain is documented to easily spread from symptomless carriers who don't even know they have it.
But it is interesting to note that the federal government has demonstrated very little willingness to stop open borders migrants from carrying many other infectious diseases into the United States. Americans from China are sitting in quarantine right now, but illegal aliens from Honduras are walking right into the country, with no health testing or barriers whatsoever.
Here's a breakdown of the currently known infections by region:
The CDC justifies its actions as follows, from the CDC.gov website:
States have police power functions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons within their borders. To control the spread of disease within their borders, states have laws to enforce the use of isolation and quarantine.
Under 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71, CDC is authorized to detain, medically examine, and release persons arriving into the United States and traveling between states who are suspected of carrying these communicable diseases.
As part of its federal authority, CDC routinely monitors persons arriving at U.S. land border crossings and passengers and crew arriving at U.S. ports of entry for signs or symptoms of communicable diseases.
The key enforcement claim is found here:
If a quarantinable disease is suspected or identified, CDC may issue a federal isolation or quarantine order.
In other words, if the CDC merely believes you might be carrying an infectious disease, they can order you placed in quarantine.
Here's the current wold map of infections, via the WHO:
Coronavirus has now made history in America: The first government quarantine of U.S. citizens in over a hundred years.
Sadly, most U.S. citizens remain completely oblivious to the truth about the coronavirus pandemic. Listen to my podcast below for full details:

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
