Starving for Dignity: The Hunger Strike Inside Delaney Hall and the Wall of Silence ICE Built Around It
Between 300 and 400 detainees at Delaney Hall, a GEO Group-run ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, have entered their second week of a hunger and labor strike over worm-infested food, no air conditioning, untreated illness, and the denial of medical care to pregnant women — including one who miscarried alone inside the facility. A sitting U.S. senator was pepper-sprayed trying to enter. The governor was turned away. DHS insists everything is fine.
