""There are people who want to speak and want their voices to be heard ... but [ICE] is covering everything up," says a man who was released from the prison on April 24 after winning a habeas corpus petition."
"Almost everyone inside the prison is participating in the hunger strike, indicating a collective demand for rights and better conditions."
On April 20, hundreds of immigrant men at North Lake Processing Center initiated a hunger strike to assert their rights to due process, access to edible food, and an end to sleep deprivation. Outside the facility, advocates gathered to support the strikers and publicize their demands. A released detainee, referred to as Juan, indicated that nearly all individuals inside the prison were participating in the hunger strike, expressing a desire for their voices to be heard amidst perceived cover-ups by ICE.
