“I want the people outside to know, they’re treating us like animals,” Ahmad Alnajdawi, a North Lake detainee from Jordan, wrote in a message to the advocacy group No Detention Centers in Michigan. “We have no answers to our questions, and everyone here has questions. I have a lot of people here who speak Arabic, and this is very hard for them. They cannot talk to the case managers; they cannot talk to ICE officers; they cannot talk to anyone. The food here is pitiful.”

A DHS spokesperson denied that a hunger strike was underway and that there were “subprime conditions” at North Lake, claiming that ICE has higher standards for detention conditions than “most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.”

DHS has similarly denied reports of a hunger strike at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania, which is also operated by the GEO Group. PennLive reported on Sunday that around 100 detainees there were refusing food to protest dangerous conditions including contaminated food and medical neglect, including staff ignoring a detainee who had lost consciousness.

“This courageous collective action is a response to the dehumanization and abuse that are endemic to ICE detention, where immigrants are used as scapegoats so corporations like the GEO Group may continue to build their profits unchecked,’ Ale Rojas, an organizer with No Detention Centers in Michigan, said of the North Lake hunger strike. “Centering our humanity and the humanity of every person who has been kidnapped by ICE is the only way forward.”
