History

Historical Context

After ICE detainees at Adelanto began a hunger strike in 2006, the ACLU secured a $1.5 million settlement that requires weekly health checks for more than 200 inmates. The protest echoes earlier mass hunger strikes, such as the 1980-81 Irish republican strike that drew international attention, and follows a surge of ICE raids that deported over 300,000 people after the failed HR-4437 bill.
