    ‘Repression and resistance’: a historian uncovers the history of migrant protests in US detention

    Detainees at New Jersey's Delaney Hall immigration detention center have been on a hunger and labor strike for over two weeks, citing poor conditions and physical abuse.

Historian Jessica Ordaz highlights this as part of a long history of migrant incarceration and resistance.
