Roughly 500 people who are detained are on a hunger strike to protest the poor living conditions at an ICE facility in Folkston, Georgia. Participants in the strike published a letter citing lack of clean water, dirty facilities, inadequate medical care, and prolonged detention. One person's wife says the GEO-operated facility retaliated against her husband for participating in the hunger strike by placing him in solitary. This is one of the largest coordinated hunger strikes inside an ICE facility in years. The actual participation rate is disputed, but it's hard to know what the real number is for sure because of the lack of transparency going on inside these concentration camps. It's inspiring to witness this collective courage and resistance from people who came from all around the world like Latin America, South Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc. uniting inside a concentration camp to go on strike. They are far more American than any of the gestapo thugs who trafficked them into these camps.

An asylum seeker from Peru has decribed forced labor and retaliation going on inside Delaney Hall in New Jersey, which is a private, for-profit ICE facility operated by GEO Group. Martin Soto said people who were detained are being paid as little as $1 per day for difficult labor, facing 12-hour shifts, and being threatened with solitary confinement, loss of family visitation privileges, or lockouts if they refused to work. Soto was arrested by ICE in February while shopping for diapers for his child and he was released a few weeks ago after 8 months in detention. He helped organize a hunger strike and labor strike while being held. The New Jersey Department of Labor has certified Soto's U visa application in connection with investigations into labor exploitation. A U visa is reserved for non-citizen victims of qualifying crimes who assist law enforcement in investigating criminal activity. Concentration camps coercing labor from immigrants through threats of solitary confinement, loss of visitation, or lockouts is some Nazi shit. These corporations like GEO Group prioritize corporate profits over basic human rights. If this is what they're doing to immigrants today, it's only a matter of time before these monsters bribe our politicians to throw me and you in these concentration camps too just to make a buck. This gentleman Martin Soto is extremely brave for organizing strikes and coming forward about what's going on. He is more American than all of these gestapo thugs combined.
