Delaney Hall snack purchases cast doubt on hunger strike reports, DHS says

Revenue data from Delaney Hall ICE detention center's commissary shows a threefold increase during the reported hunger strike period, contradicting claims of detainees refusing food. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cited the data to dismiss the hunger strike as a 'hoax,' suggesting detainees opted for commissary snacks over meals. Politicians including Andy Kim, Robert Menendez Jr., and Bonnie Watson-Coleman had previously reported dire conditions at the facility.
