SocietyDetainees at a third US immigration center launch hunger strike, including Russians
More than 30 people at Texas’s El Valle immigration detention facility are on hunger strike, including Russian men who joined after 15 women began the protest on October 11. They cite poor conditions and inadequate medical care. Hunger strikes are also underway at facilities in Georgia and Louisiana; about 500 people are reportedly participating at Georgia’s D. Ray James facility, where around 40 protesters were placed in solitary confinement, according to sources.
