Nearly 40 women detained inside Delaney Hall join ongoing labor, hunger strike

Nearly 40 women detained inside Delaney Hall, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement concentration camp in Newark, joined an ongoing labor and hunger strike at the facility. The women are demanding ICE to release women under the age of 21, women with medical conditions, and mothers, as well as improved facility conditions. About 300 detainees at Delaney Hall in Newark have been on a hunger and labor strike since May 22 to protest dangerous conditions inside the facility, including medical neglect, lack of air conditioning, and lack of food. Detainees called for an investigation of Delaney Hall, its operations, and for Gov. Mikie Sherrill to visit to discuss protections for immigrants.
