No doubt that the hunger/labor strikeRs at Delaney Hall , with solidarity actions led to Sherrill funding $12 million more to the DDDI (Defense Against Detention and Deportation Initiative) The demands are still centered and ¡La lucha sigue! #ICEOUTofNJ

The demands of those on strike at Delaney Hall remain the same regardless if ice or state police "keeps order" or status quo. In solidarity with the strikers, some shots form this past week.

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
GWYNNE A. WILCOX,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 10, is GRANTED;
it is further
ORDERED that defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 23, is DENIED; it
is further DECLARED that the termination of plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox was unlawful, in
violation of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), and therefore null and void; it is further…DECLARED that plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox remains a member of the National Labor
Relations Board (“NLRB”), having been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate

office, but for no other cause,” pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a); it is further
ORDERED that plaintiff shall continue to serve as a member of the NLRB until her term
expires pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), unless she is earlier removed “upon notice and hearing,
for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office,
” id.; it is further
ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan, as well as his subordinates, agents, and
employees, are ENJOINED, during plaintiff’s term as a member of the NLRB, from removing
plaintiff from her office without cause or in any way treating plaintiff as having been removed
from office, from impeding in any way her ability to fulfill her duties as a member of the NLRB,
and from denying or obstructing her authority or access to any benefits or resources of her office;
it is further
ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan and his subordinates, agents, and employees
provide plaintiff with access to the necessary government facilities and equipment so that she

SO ORDERED.
