New Jersey detention center migrant hunger strike
More than 300 migrants detained at a detention center in New Jersey have accused authorities of treating them in a "miserable and inhumane" manner. The detainees have been on a hunger strike since May 22nd to protest medical neglect, poor sanitation, spoiled food, denial of bail releases, and being forced to sign deportation papers. The New Jersey Attorney General has filed a lawsuit calling for an internal investigation into the conditions inside the center, while the facility’s management has responded with retaliatory actions against the protesters. Human rights organizations point to a repeated pattern of abuse in American immigrant detention centers overall, with mortality rates rising in 2026 to the highest level in 20 years. The detainees are calling for the release of the most vulnerable groups, such as patients, the elderly, and children, believing that an urgent investigation is needed to end the oppressive policies within detention centers.
