A group of men detained in Louisiana & Texas have reached their 70th day on hunger strike. They are on the brink of death.
“The reason for me sitting on hunger strike is because I want freedom. Since January 21, 2019 I have been locked inside four walls."

In Louisiana, the men are subjected to forced hydration, a painful, invasive process. The medical staff administering the forced hydration do not speak their native language and videotape the procedure.
In Texas, one man is being force-fed and receiving "sub par" medical attention according to @avid_chihuahuan.
Multiple human rights and medical groups consider force-feeding to be a form of torture.

@avid_chihuahuan The significant spike in the number of hunger strikes from within ICE jails and prisons in the past year is no coincidence: it is indicative of the lengths this administration is willing to go to in holding people captive #AbolishDetention
