HONOLULU (AP) — All 21 members of a group arrested over breaking Hawaii’s traveler quarantine have been released from jail and have returned to California. The group known as Carbon Nation arrived in Hawaii over two days earlier this month. Police say some of them were at a Big Island beach the day they arrived. A two-week quarantine for all arriving travelers has helped Hawaii maintain low coronavirus infection rates compared with other parts of the U.S. Their leader and two others were released earlier in the week. The remaining 18 were released Tuesday. They were all sent to Los Angeles.

Carbon Nation, a group of 21 travelers arrested on suspicion of violating Hawaii's coronavirus quarantine order, have agreed to leave the state because of threats from residents, a member of the group said Monday, June 15, 2020. Court documents say members of the group were seen at a beach park on June 8. A video posted on YouTube showed their leader, Bishop, petting a sea turtle, police said in the documents.
