hunger strikes

Migrants detained in ICE facilities across four states have launched hunger strikes to protest conditions, including allegations of substandard medical care and unsafe living environments. The strikes, involving hundreds of detainees at facilities operated by the GEO Group, have prompted daily protests and accusations of mistreatment by guards. ICE and GEO Group deny the claims, asserting compliance with detention standards.

Several protesters were arrested at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, for defying a curfew during ongoing hunger and labor strikes at the immigration detention center. The state's attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, stated that the protesters were armed with protective gear and refused to leave.
