‘Stark example of brutality’: Trump’s ICE used court orders in plan to force-feed at least 10 hunger strikers in detention

Under the Trump administration, ICE used court orders to subject at least 10 hunger strikers in immigrant detention to involuntary medical procedures, including force-feeding, in 2025 and 2026. Court records show procedures occurred at facilities like Port Isabel and Krome service processing centers, with detainees in Texas, Florida, and Washington state. Some hunger strikers ended their strikes before forced procedures began.
