Immigrants at Delaney Hall ICE detention center in New Jersey launched a hunger strike and protest. The action exposes conditions that activists link to a Thirteenth Amendment crisis around forced labor in immigration custody.
Immigrants detained at Delaney Hall ICE detention center in New Jersey launched a hunger strike and protest over conditions in their custody. The action drew direct connections to forced labor concerns and the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits involuntary servitude except as punishment for crime. Detainees in ICE custody often face demands to work for little or no pay.
This is part of a growing pattern of resistance from inside detention facilities. As ICE custody expands, the conditions inside become more visible and more contested. The Thirteenth Amendment framing is significant because it reframes detention not just as a civil immigration matter but as a potential labor and human rights issue.
