Ice detainees hold hunger strike at Louisiana state penitentiary | Louisiana
According to the advocacy groups, an immigration detained his fifth day in the fifth day of the Trump administration in the Fifth day of Louisiana’s famous Angola prison.
Those who multiply the Migration and Customs Protection (ICE) processing center, those established in Angola’s old Camp J, demand access to prescription drugs according to the Southeast Dignity (SEDND) and the National Migration Project (NIPNLG).
A statement from both groups says that the Trump administration calls “Louisiana Lockup ına in the facility that detainees want basic needs such as toilet paper, hygiene products and clean drinking water. They are also looking for a visit from ice officers to increase concerns about the conditions within the facility.
According to SEDND and NIPNLG declaration, people with chronic health conditions do not take drugs and do not have access to services such as legal library or religious programming required under the federal detention standards.
Angola’s official name is Louisiana State Prison. The strike there comes after the Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry declared a state emergency in July to address the lack of capacity to host criminals in prison.
Lawyers say that the reopening of what is known as Camp J for detention and deportation of immigration has led the detainees to insecure and humiliating conditions.
Sednd said in a statement, “The real emergency is inside: People are rejected life -saving drugs and some may die as a result.” “These hunger strikes are boldly talking, they carry the risk of retaliation from the Camp J guards and put their own lives in order to ensure that the people around them needed to get the medical care they need.”
Louisiana now has the second largest immigrant detained population in the country after Texas. A small airport in Alexandria has become a leading departure point for the deportation flights of the country during the second presidency of Donald Trump.
Louisiana State Prison has a history of use for purposes as well as housing state prisoners. In 2022, dozens of children were imprisoned and moved to a former order of death in prison land, which led to the case of youth defenders.
Reports from inside, abuse of guards, lack of education and expanded insulation. A judge finally ordered young people to be transferred and described the conditions in the camp as “unbearable”. Camp J itself was briefly used to host prisoners before the hearing with COVİD-19 in 2020.
Once upon a time, the famous Camp J, which was once closed in 2018, is now re -branded. In addition to the “Louisiana locking”, this facility is now called the “Camp 57 olan, which is now respected by the Governor of the state Landry. Lawyers warn that Camp J is still intact, including the culture of abuse, violence and helplessness of what makes Camp J so cruel before.
Bridget Pranzatelli from NIPNLG said, “Angola’s inability to provide even the most basic medical care and materials, another reason for the closure of this facility,” he said.
“These false allegations about detention facilities worsen our bold ice law enforcement forces,” said Tricia McLughlin, Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Netherlands. “For registration: During hunger strikes, ICE continues to give three meals delivered to the alien room detained and a sufficient drinking water or other beverage source.”
Internal security had previously published a list of more than 50 ice prisoners, who had already been made at the Angola facility and had previously been allegedly allegedly criminal for serious accusations.
