PA: Detained Undocumented Mothers Launch Hunger Strike, Vow to Leave ‘Alive or Dead’
Common Dreams – August 19, 2016
Dozens of undocumented women being held with their children at the Berks County Residential Center in Pennsylvania are on a hunger strike that they say will culminate in their leaving the facility “alive or dead.” The mothers are essentially being held prisoner under an Obama administration plan to detain undocumented families while their papers for asylum are being processed. Their children range in age from 2 to 16.
