This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

Translation from Spanish to English: We, the detainees at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility, wish to express our objection to the violation of our rights as immigrant human beings. We, the detainees, are demanding our progressive release, based on the fact that our arrests were illegal; immigrants to this country have the right to await our pending immigration proceedings outside of prison; therefore, we demand to be released on bond or parole so that we may complete our proceedings.

Furthermore, we call for greater efficiency in our judicial processes, as well as greater effectiveness and urgency for those who request and sign their voluntary release; we believe it is unjust to keep people who wish to leave of their own free will in custody for up to three months.

In addition to the unlawful and forced detention of most of us who find ourselves locked up here, there is the inhumane treatment that all detainees in this facility endure on a daily basis. The company in charge (GEO) fails to meet the basic conditions necessary to protect our health and our lives. To their administrative incompetence, we must add the following injustices and irregularities perpetrated by ICE and GEO:

Food containing worms or in a state of decay.

Unresolved issues, particularly regarding the bathrooms, which are in terrible and inhumane condition.

Ventilation problems.

Translation from spanish to english: Serious health issues: most people have a persistent flu with phlegm that won’t go away; many have conjunctivitis, urinary tract infections, fever, and coughs.

Medical care issues:

If you're sick, you have to submit a request that takes two weeks to be answered—or you never get a response at all.

Nurses refuse to treat you right away

They only prescribe Tylenol for all ailments

The nurses' exact words: "We're not a PHARMACY"

ICE agents coerce detainees into signing deportation orders

There is no emergency protocol: in cases of falls or attacks, emergency response arrives an hour late

Judges’ rulings are highly questionable; most bond requests are denied without legal basis

Detainees are forced to work, in most cases without pay, or for $1 an hour

We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!

We ask all relevant authorities for an urgent response and look forward to hearing from them. With the utmost respect, the detainees at the Delaney Hall facility.

God bless you!

In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:

$On March 7, 1965, white police in Alabama beat hundreds of civil rights marchers—including fracturing the skull of civil rights icon John Lewis—as they walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on “Bloody Sunday.” The very next day, President Lyndon Johnson announced an unprecedented expansion of funding for U.S. police departments, including for “improved training of policemen.”8$
