===Case of Kaci Hickox' return to US, 2014 (Ebola)=== In 2014, [[Kaci Hickox]], a [[Doctors Without Borders]] nurse from Maine, legally battled 21-day quarantines imposed by the states of New Jersey and Maine after returning home from treating [[Ebola]] patients in [[Sierra Leone]].<ref>{{cite news|work=Huffington Post|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/08/kacii-hickox-leaving-maine_n_6127146.html|agency=Reuters|title=Kaci Hickox, Nurse Who Fought Ebola Quarantine, To Leave Maine: Report|date=8 November 2014 }}</ref> "Hickox was sequestered in a medical tent for days because New Jersey announced new Ebola regulations the day she arrived. She eventually was allowed to travel to Maine, where the state sought to impose a 'voluntary quarantine' before trying and failing to create a buffer between her and others. A state judge rejected attempts to restrict her movements, saying she posed no threat as long as she wasn't demonstrating any symptoms of Ebola. Hickox said health care professionals like those at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention β not politicians like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Maine Gov. [[Paul LePage]] β should be in charge of making decisions that are grounded in science, not fear."<ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebola-outbreak-maine-nurse-kaci-hickox-to-remain-advocate-against-quarantines/ Maine nurse to remain advocate against Ebola quarantines] 9 November 2014, ''CBSNews'', accessed 28 January 2020</ref>
