PA: Immigrant Mothers Stage Hunger Strike for Freedom (Includes audio)
Public News Service – August 15, 2016
Federal courts have ruled that children, with or without parents, cannot be held in immigration detention for more than 20 days. And the Secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, recently claimed the DHS detains families for 20 days on average. But according to attorney Carol Anne Donohoe, the women on hunger strike at the Berks County Residential Center – and their children – have been held much longer.
