Detained immigrant women at Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey launched a coordinated hunger and labor strike this week, advocates said Friday.
Participants said they were protesting conditions inside the detention center, including limited access to legal counsel and medical care. Organizers reported that dozens of women joined the action.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement had not publicly responded to specific allegations raised by the strikers. Attorneys said clients faced retaliation for participating in the protest.
Delaney Hall has drawn scrutiny from civil liberties groups who argue that prolonged detention without adequate oversight violates basic standards of care.
