As activists and immigrant families challenge deportation on the U.S.-Mexico border, a hunger strike is continuing at a Washington state immigration jail. Around 750 prisoners at the Northwest Detention Center are refusing meals in protest of the Obama administration’s record deportations as well as poor conditions that include wages of just one dollar a day for prison labor. Supporters now say the strikers are reporting increased retaliation from prison officials, including isolation and threats of forced feeding. Asylum seekers are also allegedly being threatened with the denial of their bids. A rally in support of the hunger strike is set to take place outside the prison later today.
