You've probably heard ––immigrants have been on hunger strike at the Delaney detention center in NJ to improve conditions and release vulnerable elderly and sick people. Protestors have come out to prevent retaliatory action against those inside but since the weekend, federal agents have been pepper-spraying people and punitively attempting to stop those leading the strike. Please take action on these demands:
1. An immediate in-person mtg w/Gov. Mikie Sherrill at Delaney Hall to directly observe conditions & hear testimony from detained people.
2. The immediate release of vulnerable detainees incl elderly, pregnant, & young people & those w/serious medical conditions.
3.Meaningful review of immigration cases & habeas filings.
4. An end to what they describe as coercive pressure to sign deportation or voluntary departure documents
And, if you're able, please go Delaney in solidarity at any time of day or night.
