A group of 10 undocumented women will start a partial hunger strike this Tuesday to protest against their detention at a center that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has in Karnes City, Texas, according to a non-profit organization which provides legal representation to some of the facility's detainees.
During a conference call held this morning, Mohammad Abdollahi, member and one of the spokespersons of the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), said the women, who have their children with them, "are gonna have one meal a day each evening (during a week), however they are gonna refuse all other meals." Abdollahi added the women participating in the hunger strike will refuse to send their children to the facility's school.
According to Abdollahi and Cristina Parker, a coordinator with Austin-based Grassroots Leadership, this is the second hunger strike at the Karnes facility because a group of almost 80 women started one in the week that started on Monday March 30th that lasted almost one week.

A hunger strike where you get to eat every day. Didn't we used to call th is going on a diet?
Fine, deport them to a nice restaurant in Mexico.
Seems to be a lot of this “hunger striking” going on. LOL
Participation trophy, earned! Loretta Lynch supporters get mocked over totally bogus hunger strike
If they are “undocumented” then they aren’t really there to start with... what’s the huhu?
They can’t even Hunger Strike right. So they are refusing to eat Brunch on the weekends!
Uh.....what?
East Tostada...LMAO!!!!
Whats a partial hunger strike?
If they’re “undocumented,” how does anyone know they’re there?
I don’t care if they have a hunger strike for 20 years. I just want them deported.
Perfect! I say let them partially starve to death.
It's something you do when you are only partially committed to your cause.
LOL
Uh.....what?
Yup that one folded when they could no longer get Jamba Juice, a hunger strike without Jamba Juice is just untenable! Well that's what their liberal elite handlers told them.
I guess that means you refuse to eat until you get hungry, then you eat.
Sort of like a normal day for most people.
A lack of Jamba Juice, eh?
So THAT’S why my hunger strikes keep failing.
Lets throw in a little Blackmail
