Mothers And Children Allegedly Locked In A Dark Room For Protesting Detention Conditions

Mothers And Children Allegedly Locked In A Dark Room For Protesting Detention Conditions

Detention officers allegedly locked migrant mothers and children in a dark room, took away internet access, and threatened to take their children away from them after some went on a hunger strike to protest conditions at a Texas immigration detention center, according to lawyers and advocates. In a five-day strike that ended Saturday, about 78 women went on a hunger and work strike or acted in solidarity to demand better food and medical care, as well as their release from the Karnes Detention Center.
