ICE Forced To Deal With Illegals Going On Hunger Strikes

This is ridiculous.

ICE is currently having to deal with a bunch of illegals going on a hunger strike. It’s gotten SO BAD that they’ve been forced to force-feed some migrants through plastic nasal tubes.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says 11 detainees at the El Paso Processing Center have been refusing food, some for more than 30 days. Detainees who reached the AP, along with a relative and an attorney representing hunger strikers, said nearly 30 detainees from India and Cuba have been refusing to eat, and some are now so weak they cannot stand up or talk.

Another four detainees are on hunger strikes in the agency’s Miami, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco areas of responsibility, ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said Wednesday.

The men say they stopped eating to protest verbal abuse and threats of deportation from guards. They are also upset about lengthy lock ups while awaiting legal proceedings.

I’m willing to bet it’s MOSTLY the latter. I’m sure they know if they say they’re being abused, MSM will jump all over it.

In mid-January, two weeks after they stopped eating, a federal judge authorized force-feeding of some El Paso detainees, Zamarripa said. She did not immediately address the detainees’ allegations of abuse but did say the El Paso Processing Center would follow the federal standards for care.

We shouldn’t have to deal with this crap. You come into our country, expect everything to be handed to you and then refuse to eat because you don’t like the process? Holy ENTITLEMENT.

The men with nasal tubes are having persistent nose bleeds, and are vomiting several times a day, said Amrit Singh, whose two nephews from the Indian state of Punjab have been on hunger strike for about a month.

“They are not well. Their bodies are really weak, they can’t talk and they have been hospitalized, back and forth,” said Singh.

And guess what? They’re not paying for all of those self-imposed hospital visits. We are.

Unbelievable.
