LOL: Illegals At Georgia Detention Center Go On Hunger Strike Over Conditions

You know how they could avoid what they call “bad conditions” (which aren’t, it’s all made up to create sympathy): leave the U.S.

Approximately 500 participate in hunger strike at Folkston immigration detention center

Approximately 500 people in a Coastal Georgia immigration detention center are on a hunger strike, protesting conditions at the facility as well as what they say are violations of asylum protocols by U.S. authorities, according to family members and legal representatives.

Samantha Hamilton, senior litigation staff attorney at Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta (AAAJ), said most of the people participating in the civil disobedience came to the United States seeking asylum from authoritarian and repressive national governments. The hunger strikers say they were following the legal process for their immigration claims, yet have been at the privately run Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Folkston for months or years awaiting judicial hearings.

Horseshit. Most came here for all the free stuff the Democrats promised them. No one said they couldn’t or wouldn’t be held until such time as their (BS) asylum claims were adjudicated. And how much “civil disobedience” is it when you refuses to eat? Have fun

The hunger strike is the latest controversy at the Charlton County facility, which is run by The GEO Group and, despite numerous complaints about unsafe conditions, is expanding to become the largest ICE detention center in the nation.

“There’s nothing illegal about seeking asylum. There’s nothing illegal about seeking sanctuary,” said Hamilton. “So this is just the natural next step in a long-time struggle of people being detained at this facility.”

Maybe not, but, there’s nothing in the law that says they cannot be detained until such time as said claims go through the system, at which time 10% or less are approved, and the rest get sent home.

“Some of us have been detained for months. Some people have been here for years. We are not serving criminal sentences. We are asking the United States for protection,” one of the detainees said in an audio recording obtained by The Current GA. “We are afraid that what inspectors see will not show how we normally live. We have serious concerns about the food, sleep conditions, medical care, and the length of our detention.”

Then tell ICE you want to leave the US. They’ll give you some money and a free flight out. It is that easy.
