ICE attempts to silence Graciela are a violation of her right to free speech. Those detained are allowed to speak out without fear of repercussions regardless, if they are detained or labeled as 'illegal'.
Join us tonight at 7pm to demand ice to meet strikers demands and to stop any sort of retaliation. #FreeThemAll #NWDC #chingalamigra #shutdownthenwdc #abolishice

In the past weeks two units staged two separate protests: one unit demanded better food while in another separate unit a group of Indian men demanded a diet that met their cultural and religious needs, as well as access to yard time at adequate hours, access to information on their individual cases, amongst many other demands. Due to retaliation both units ceased or changed their protests. Fears of retaliation are well funded, during the February strikes one unit was gassed with at least three unknown chemicals. All of these protests come right after a report by the Office of the Inspector General from August 2022 released last month finds no problems with detention conditions in general, except that food expired for over 3 years was found in the kitchen inventory.
As GEO Group continues to torture immigrants inside NWDC, The Department of Homeland Security, ICE’s parent agency, is still providing the private prison operator with lucrative contracts to surveil and criminalize immigrants. Immigration detention has increased in the past months. On June 13, people witnessed GEO Group representatives being escorted by ICE and DHS staff through the premises of the agency’s offices in Tukwila, Washington. As hunger strikers refuse food to reclaim their dignity, DHS extends its commitments to profiting from the pain and desperation of immigrant families. Indeed, per The News Tribune, a federal report recently showed that, “ICE paid more than $40 million to the detention center’s for-profit operator, The GEO Group, for unused bed space during fiscal year 2022.”

Fourth Hunger Strike of 2023 Begins at Immigrant Detention Center
Tacoma, WA – Northwest Detention Center, the infamous private prison for immigrants in Washington state, is once again the staging ground for yet another immigrant-led protest, this time the fourth hunger strike this year alone. At least 30 people detained confirmed plus others joining as they learned about the strike. This peaceful protest started due to the indifference on the part of both Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and NWDC’s private operators GEO Group in meeting promises made last February when both entities negotiated with over 80 hunger strikers to make sure they would end their protests. Due to the lies and continuing worsening of detention conditions. #FreeThemAll
