Around 300 immigrants detained at the Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark, New Jersey, have been on a hunger and work strike since Friday to protest inhumane conditions and due process violations. Delaney Hall is operated by the private prison company GEO Group. Since the hunger strike was launched, immigration advocates have been staging a solidarity protest outside Delaney Hall to promote the detainees\u2019 demands for freedom. Protesters and ICE agents have clashed outside the jail, and three people have been arrested. Tensions escalated on Sunday when ICE removed a hunger strike organizer, Mart\u00edn Soto, prompting protesters outside the ICE jail to block a van being used to transport him. Masked ICE agents responded by firing tear gas and pushing people to the ground. Soto was ultimately transferred to an ICE jail in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and is now facing criminal charges for allegedly assaulting an ICE officer.<\/p>\n

We speak to Gabriela Soto, Mart\u00edn Soto\u2019s wife, and Li Adorno, an organizer with the group Movimiento Cosecha. Both have helped lead the protest outside Delaney Hall.<\/p>\n

Gabriela Soto says that she started the protest in conjunction with the detainees\u2019 strike so that the media could see how ICE is \u201cdestroying families and separating them.\u201d Soto says that when she was blocked from seeing her husband during visiting hours on Saturday, a guard asked her why she was \u201cspreading lies\u201d and talking to the press. \u201cHe said, \u2018Why are you telling people that we\u2019re feeding them worms? Why are you telling people that we don\u2019t give them medical care?\u2019 I said, \u2018Because it\u2019s true.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

TRANSCRIPT<\/h2>\n

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.<\/em><\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> We begin today in Newark, New Jersey, where tensions remain high since about 300 prisoners at the ICE jail known as Delaney Hall began a hunger and labor strike Friday to protest inhumane conditions and due process violations. Delaney Hall is operated by the for-profit prison company GEO Group. Federal immigration agents have repeatedly clashed with protesters and community organizers outside the jail. Three people have reportedly been arrested.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security denied there\u2019s a hunger strike at Delaney Hall, but on Tuesday so-called border czar Tom Homan threatened to force-feed the hunger strikers while speaking on Fox News.<\/p>\n

\n

TOM HOMAN:<\/strong> We\u2019re not going to change what we do because someone goes on a hunger strike. As a matter of fact, if it gets bad enough and the physicians feel like they\u2019re putting themselves in extreme danger, medical danger, then we\u2019ll force-feed them. We\u2019ll get a court order and force-feed them. Hunger strikes do not work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> Meanwhile, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened to cut off international flights and customs processing to Newark Airport if Newark continues its sanctuary city policy. He threatened all airports and sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n

On Monday, New Jersey\u2019s Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill was denied entrance to Delaney Hall. This is Governor Sherrill.<\/p>\n

\n

GOV. MIKIE SHERRILL:<\/strong> I\u2019ll continue to work to go in, but at the same time I think this really brings to light why the state has been fighting Roxbury so hard, because this type of facility shows exactly why we should not have private mass detention facilities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> Federal agents pepper-sprayed protesters on Monday. Among those hit was New Jersey Democratic Senator Andy Kim as he tried to deescalate tensions between protesters and ICE agents. He had just completed a congressional tour of Delaney Hall along with Congressmember Rob Menendez. They described filthy bathrooms, abusive guards, inadequate medical care, said prisoners were being threatened with deportation to Ebola-stricken countries.<\/p>\n

Tensions escalated Sunday after ICE removed hunger strike participant Mart\u00edn Soto, prompting protesters outside Delaney Hall to block a van being used to transport him away. Masked ICE agents responded by firing tear gas and pushing people to the ground. Soto was ultimately transferred to an ICE jail in Elizabeth, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

On Monday, New Jersey Democratic Congressmember Rob Menendez went to the Elizabeth ICE jail after spending Sunday night outside Delaney Hall. He shared this video on social media on Monday.<\/p>\n

\n

REP. ROB MENENDEZ:<\/strong> I went in and said I was there to conduct an unannounced oversight visit, as I have the legal right to do, and over the next 18 hours was kept waiting, misled by ICE multiple times. But what I ultimately told Gabriela, Mart\u00edn\u2019s wife, was that I would find him and I would see him. And that\u2019s just what we got done doing here at the Elizabeth Detention Center, where he\u2019s been transferred to.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> On Tuesday, Democracy Now!<\/em>\u2019s Juan Gonz\u00e1lez and I interviewed Gabriela Soto, the hunger striker, Mart\u00edn Soto\u2019s wife, and Li Adorno, an organizer with Movimiento Cosecha, the immigrant rights group leading the protests outside Delaney Hall. I began by asking Gabriela to describe when her husband Mart\u00edn was first arrested by ICE and to walk us through what happened over Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n

\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> He was detained in Kearny, New Jersey, in the 1st of February. He was out getting diapers for our son. He left around 5:30, 6:00. And around 7:00, I, like, didn\u2019t hear from him, so I started calling his phone, but it was off. Then, around 10:15, 10:30 at night is when he called me from a prison jail number. I got a call from a prison jail number. And at that moment, like, my heart just stopped, because I already knew what that was.<\/p>\n

When I started this protest for Friday, I wanted press to come, so that they can see what they\u2019re doing to destroying families and separating them. It was unfair that they targeted my husband, because on that same Friday, after the protest, like two hours after, they got him downstairs to the management office, and the first question that he was asked: \u201cIf we release you now, will you tell your wife to stop this protest?\u201d The second question was \u201cDid you know your wife was organizing the protest outside?\u201d And the third question was \u201cAre you the one organizing the strike inside?\u201d He said \u201cno comment\u201d to all of those three questions, that he wants to go to his cell. They took that literally, and they locked him in his cell. I didn\u2019t hear from him for hours.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, when I did visit him, his name was already highlighted on the paper. All the detainees that came down for visiting hours, they came down. My husband was the only one that didn\u2019t come down. I went to the guard, and I told him, \u201cWhy did my husband not come down? His name was highlighted on the paper. I saw the paper.\u201d And the guard told me, \u201cOh, I wanted to talk to you before I brought him down.\u201d He took like 10 minutes asking me questions about why I\u2019m spreading lies, why I am talking to the press, why I\u2019m trying to bring light into what they\u2019re doing is unjust. He said, \u201cWhy are you telling people that we\u2019re feeding them worms? Why are you telling people that we don\u2019t give them medical care?\u201d I said, \u201cBecause it\u2019s true.\u201d And he said, \u201cIt\u2019s not true. You\u2019re just spreading lies.\u201d I stood back a little bit, and I said, \u201cDo you want me to get testimony from every detainee here? Do you want me to do that?\u201d He said, \u201cNo, just stop spreading lies.\u201d And I said, \u201cBring me my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

After I left, it was \u2014 I stayed out the night. It was Sunday now. I got a call from him at 3:00 saying if I\u2019m going to go in to see him. I said, \u201cYes.\u201d We were on the phone talking about that he was waking up, what he\u2019s doing today, and everything. And then, on a recorded monitor line, I heard agents tell my husband, \u201cRelease Mart\u00edn Soto. Release, release. Outside, outside. Am\u00e9rica, Am\u00e9rica. Release, release,\u201d like you\u2019re getting released, like you\u2019re going out, like you\u2019re not getting deported, like you\u2019re \u2014 like you\u2019re getting out. I have witnesses from the detainees inside of Unit 2 that they saw my husband sign the order of release.<\/p>\n

I was in the ramp, on the visitation chapel ramp. I was looking at the door when they get released or when they get transferred. I saw him handcuffed and two agents. He was refusing to get in the van. Two agents grabbed him by his ankles and his arms, or his wrists, and threw him in the van. I saw him personally thrown into the van. At that moment, I called inside. I said, \u201cSally, Steph, like, he\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s Mart\u00edn. Like, that\u2019s him.\u201d I rushed out. I opened, I ran out. And the guards, the security people in the little house, in the little penthouse, they were laughing while I was \u2014 while I was running out. Everybody was blocking the van, because they knew it was Mart\u00edn, they knew it was my husband. He was banging on the windows, saying, \u201cGaby! Where\u2019s my wife Gaby? Help! Help!\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now my husband is in Elizabeth Detention Center, but if you look up his name, he\u2019s not in an ICE location. He\u2019s not in the ICE locator. Like, he\u2019s disappeared from the locator. And that is what ICE is doing. They\u2019re separating people. They\u2019re disappearing them, innocent people.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> Did you get to see your husband in Elizabeth, where he\u2019s being detained now?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> And what did he say?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> When I saw him, he had his wrists bruised, his arm bruised. It was red, purple, black. He told me how they \u2014 how they threw him in the van, how they threw him in the floor. When they returned him back to Delaney, he \u2014 how they \u2014 how they threw him in the last car when they were trying to escort him out. Sorry.<\/p>\n

On Monday, after midnight, when ICE agents showed up to Delaney around 2 a.m., the first three cars that were there were a diversion, because they knew protesters were there. As soon as they were closing the barricade to not let any more cars through, one of the last cars, like, the gray-looking, the gray car speeding off, that was my husband in it.<\/p>\n

He told me that he saw every single moment. He saw ICE agents pepper-spraying people. He saw people blocking the cars. He saw people trying to fight for him. People were trying to fight to not let that van, to not let those cars leave. He saw all of that. But he was restrained to the car.<\/p>

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> And a GoFundMe page has been set up for you, Gabriela?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> Yes, because my husband, he\u2019s facing criminal charges from ICE, because they are claiming that my husband assaulted him \u2014 assaulted them. So, I\u2019m trying to find out on what more charges that they can charge him with. I\u2019m trying to see if I can get associated with lawyers, whether it\u2019s pro bono<\/em> or whether it\u2019s, you know, paid lawyers, anything, because I know that criminal charges, they\u2019re very, really bad, and because I did the I-130 petition for him to give him citizenship, because he\u2019s my husband and I\u2019m legally married to him.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> And you\u2019re a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> And I\u2019m a U.S. citizen. So, these criminal charges can actually hold back on his process. So, I\u2019m trying to find a lawyer willing to take on his case, so that they can prove that he didn\u2019t assault ICE. He\u2019s one person with five ICE agents, five, six, seven ICE agents. So, how can one person, arrested, like, handcuffed, assault so many people, so many ICE agents, who are armed? They\u2019re armed. They have guns. They can use their hands. They\u2019re a lot bigger than him. My husband, in four months, lost 30 pounds. He is really skinny right now. How can one person who is completely skinny and selfless and helpless assault so many people?<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> So, they\u2019ve charged him when they were transferring him to the Elizabeth jail?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> You have two children together with Mart\u00edn, and you\u2019re pregnant with your third. What are you telling \u2014 how old are your little ones?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> One and 4.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> What does your 4-year-old understand?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> She thinks dad\u2019s at work. When we were at the protest, she was holding up the sign for her dad. She didn\u2019t know what was happening, but she \u2014 but she said, I think, to, like, a reporter, \u201cPap\u00e1. I want my Pap\u00e1,\u201d like, \u201dTe quiero a mi pap\u00e1<\/em>,\u201d like, \u201cI want my dad. I want to see my dad.\u201d She cries every time we leave the visitation, which is why I stopped trying to take her, because she gets anxious, she gets heartbroken. We\u2019re trying to tell her, \u201cDad\u2019s at work. He\u2019s coming. He\u2019s going to just \u2014 he\u2019s working because he has to buy you a little toy, a big toy,\u201d or because she really wants a puppy. So we try to also tell her, \u201cDad is working to get you the puppy.\u201d And then, she was like, \u201cPuppy, no. Dad, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

JUAN GONZ\u00c1LEZ:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to bring in Li Adorno from Movimiento Cosecha. Li, welcome to Democracy Now!<\/em> Can you talk about this detention facility? It\u2019s been in operation, the largest one in the New York metro area \u2014 it\u2019s been open over a year. How many incidents have occurred in that facility that you\u2019re aware of?<\/p>\n

LI ADORNO:<\/strong> Yes, so, the facility has been reopened for about a year now. You know, there was a lot of resistance in the community. We all said that it was going to be a bad idea for them to reopen it. There was already abuse reported prior to that.<\/p>\n

This year, unfortunately, we saw the first death at Delaney Hall during intake. The person who was being put into the detention facility wasn\u2019t even there for a day. And when we asked for explanations, the only thing that ICE \u2014 well, GEO really said was that he had fallen in the staircase or in the stairs. But nobody dies from falling down, right?<\/p>\n

We have been demanding more transparency. This, what has started to happen here at Delaney Hall in the past recent days, that has gotten a lot of attention, is actually the culmination of different letters that we have gotten from people who are detained describing the conditions.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> If you can talk, Gabriela, about the demands of the people? Now, it\u2019s two things, right? They\u2019re on hunger strike and on a work strike. This is a for-profit company, GEO Group, that runs this facility. It\u2019s very interesting that the governor, Governor Sherrill, said that a private company should not be running a mass detention facility.<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> The conditions in there are horrible. They get paid $1.50 a day for a whole day of work. That is why mainly the hospitality tent outside of Delaney Hall, we help families with getting to their commissary, because it\u2019s never enough. And there\u2019s families that sometimes just can\u2019t pay all the time for, like, these things for them. It\u2019s basic things \u2014 toothbrushes, food, essential things. Their demands are not to get better conditions. Their demands are to get freed and be heard. They\u2019re innocent people in there.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> And, Gabriela, how are you communicating with people inside Delaney? And how aware are they of the protests outside?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> So, we got phone calls every day. Mart\u00edn, my husband, gave my number to his inmates, to his detainees, to contact me if anything. I get phone calls.<\/p>\n

They are very much aware of what is happening outside. We made it very strong for them to know that they are not alone inside, that we\u2019re not letting anything happen to them.<\/p>\n

My husband personally told me to tell Unit 2 to pass along the message to every single person to continue with the hunger strike, to continue with the labor strike, and for me to not give up on these detainees.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> How much danger do you face?<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know personally, but I feel like I\u2019m in a lot of danger, because my name is out there everywhere. Personally, I am happy that I started this to protect these people, but at the same time I also feel scared, because if they were capable of doing damage to a congresswoman \u2014<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> LaMonica McIver.<\/p>\n

GABRIELA SOTO:<\/strong> LaMonica McIver, facing criminal charges, a congresswoman. If they were capable enough to do harm to her, me, being just a nobody, what can they do to me or my husband? Like, I\u2019m scared for both of us. I\u2019m scared for my kids.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> We heard Governor Sherrill mention Roxbury. Can you explain what Roxbury is? Not Roxbury, Massachusetts, but Roxbury, New Jersey. This was a warehouse that was purchased by ICE for, what, $130 million to warehouse people?<\/p>\n

LI ADORNO:<\/strong> Yes, it was at sale for 60, but then ICE paid 120-something million dollars, like double the price of what it was worth. So, we\u2019re already starting to see the red flags pop up.<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> This was under Kristi Noem, who was fired by Trump?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LI ADORNO:<\/strong> I believe so, yes. But we\u2019re starting to see that flag of, like, why are they throwing money at these places, these warehouses, to convert them into detention centers, when we are clearly seeing that it\u2019s a bad idea from Delaney Hall, right? What is very concerning about Roxbury is that it\u2019s even bigger than Delaney Hall. The last detention center that \u2014<\/p>\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> Delaney could house something like a thousand people, right?<\/p>\n

LI ADORNO:<\/strong> Yes, the new one would be able to house 1,500, like, at minimum, like very easily.<\/p>\n\n\n

AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> That was community organizer Li Adorno with Movimiento Cosecha, Harvest Movement, and also Gabriela Soto. Gabriela has been organizing outside the Delaney Hall immigration jail in Newark, New Jersey, while her husband, Mart\u00edn Soto, was inside. He participated in the ongoing hunger and labor strike, but was moved to the Elizabeth jail over the weekend. Gabriela is a U.S. citizen. She and Mart\u00edn have two kids. She\u2019s also four months pregnant. Special thanks to Amba Guerguerian and Julie Cohen.<\/p>\n\n\n

Coming up, two police officers who were attacked on January 6, 2021, are suing President Trump. We\u2019ll speak with their attorney. Stay with us.<\/p>\n\n\n
