About 750 detainees housed at the Northwest Detention Center in Washington state refused to eat Saturday in an attempt to halt deportations and demand better conditions.
Community to Community Development, an immigrant activist group, helped lead protests outside of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Tacoma where the detainees are being housed. They said the strike began Friday, and that detainees are demanding better food, treatment and pay for work they do at the center.
The activist group plans to protest until Tuesday.
"People showing solidarity right now at Tacoma detention center!" group organizer of Latino Advocacy, Maru Mora, posted Saturday on Facebook.
ICE spokesman Andrew Munoz told NBC News that the agency "fully respects the rights of all people to express their opinion without interference."
"While we continue to work with Congress to enact commonsense immigration reform, ICE remains committed to sensible, effective immigration enforcement that focuses on its priorities," Munoz added.

Mexico's border with Guatemala and Beliz is SHUT tight!
NO ONE gets into Mexico from its POOR southern neighbors.
They are probably living better in the ICE facility than they ever thought about living in Mexico...
They don't want to eat...no problem...let them starve..
Pretty simple solution: Don’t detain, deport.
Next!
starve them all and send them home maybe that will keep them out
No food, no water, NO PROBLEM.
Think how much money they are saving taxpayers by not eating.../s
We had a Mexican border incursion by the Mexican military again just the other day but we’re so distracted with Russia than nobody noticed.
Perhaps the deportation process should be accelerated. It’s only right.
What they aren’t dead yet ???

• The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?
• If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome.
• Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by 10 years’ imprisonment.
• Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations.
• A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.
pay for work they do at the center.

Bingo. You are correct sir. I worked 25 years in California prisons. We had tons of illegal aliens in prison. The majority, if not all of them, had it better in a California prison, than on the streets in Mexico. What a country.
I know OJ is in Nevada, but he looks like he’s put on 50 pounds since he hit the slammer.
What part of "You're breaking the law", don't they understand?
What are they doing at the Detention House
What are they doing at the Detention House
To feed the wetbacks
This day?
Well, OJ is a different story, but I had inmates tell me to my face, that they violated parole on purpose, to get off the drugs, get some medical care and get some good food. I know it sucks, but that is reality.

If these fools don’t eat, that would solve the problem of deporting them!
