MAINE – Kaci Hickox, a nurse who was quarantined at a hospital in New Jersey after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, left her home overnight during a mandatory quarantine. Now, the state is monitoring her every move.
ABC’s Tahman Bradley reports Hickox is fed up and ready to fight. She defied her quarantine restrictions to send a message to officials in Maine, her home state: If you don’t lift the 21-day quarantine, she plans to sue the state.
