The U.S. was declared measles-free in 2000. What happened since then?

Food for thought! Was the declaration in 2000 premature and were some measles cases undetected?

Could the increase in measles cases in the US have something to do with the massive illegal immigration under the former 46th President? Just speculating, maybe I am wrong.

However, measles cases also picked up under President Trump's first term.

"As of March 13, 2025, a total of 301 confirmed* measles cases were reported by 15 jurisdictions: Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, and Washington." according to CDC
