Women held at much-denounced Ice detention camp sign on to hunger strike

Dozens of women detained at the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in New Jersey joined a hunger and labor strike on Thursday, according to advocates. The women, held in unit 1 of the privately operated facility, have presented a list of demands to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Their demands include the release of individuals under 21, those with medical conditions, and mothers. They are also seeking improvements to the living conditions within the facility and a faster progression of their immigration cases. This action follows a similar strike by men at the same facility, highlighting ongoing concerns about the conditions and processes within ICE detention centers. The Delaney Hall facility has previously faced significant criticism regarding its operations and treatment of detainees.
