Iraqi detainees from Metro Detroit on hunger strike

- Detroit — Some Iraqi detainees swept up in immigration raids in Metro Detroit this summer are on a hunger strike, saying they would rather die closer to their homes than be deported.
Seven of the dozens of detainees held at the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center for more than three months have gone 72 hours without eating as of Friday afternoon to protest their captivity, officials said. The seven have been placed under medical supervision, and seven more have since joined the cause, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “They continue to be offered three meals daily and provided an adequate supply of drinking water or other beverages,” ICE spokesman Khaalid Walls said. “Several other detainees have been randomly refusing the facility’s prepared meals over the last several days and are being monitored by facility staff.” Families of detainees, meanwhile, say the center was on a 23-hour lockdown Friday because of the number of detainees participating in the hunger strike, which they believe has grown to about 50. Walls was unable to comment if any detainees have been transported to a medical care unit during the strike. But ICE’s hunger strike protocol states a detainee on hunger strike must be isolated “for close supervision, observation and monitoring.” “The number of individuals participating in the strike can fluctuate at any time as facility staff witnesses detainees ending their hunger strike or reaching the 72-hour threshold,” Walls said. Crystal Jabiro, a volunteer with Code Legal Aid, a nonprofit legal advocacy group, said a detainee called her Monday to inform her about the strike plans because “they don’t know what else to do.” “They’d rather die in the facility close to their families, rather than in their own country because they believe U.S. is their home,” Jabiro said. “For a lot of them, their 90-day review came. From what I heard from these inmates, a lot got letters saying they will be detained for another 90 days.” After 90 days of holding, ICE has to do an individualized review to release on restricted probation or hold for another 90 days, said Rana Elmir, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.
