They have hunger strike, they get hungry, they eat. ............

Hunger Strikes At ICE Detention Centers Spread As Parole, Bond Are Denied

https://www.npr.org/2019/04/19/713910647/hunger-strikes-at-ice-detention-centers-spread-as-parole-bond-is-denied

n the last week of March, dozens of asylum-seekers held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the River Correctional Center in Ferriday, La., initiated a hunger strike. Activists said 150 people joined the demonstration, while ICE put the number at 24.

It was a short-lived demonstration, ending on March 30, according to ICE. But it was at least the sixth hunger strike at a detention center in the first three months of 2019 alone.

“We have never seen so many hunger strikes in so many different places in less than three, four months,” said Maru Mora Villalpando, an immigrants rights activist based in Washington state. “And the ones we have been able to engage with have been led by asylum-seekers.”

Yeah lol, hunger strikes usually occur on countries where there is REAL brutal oppression against the people.

Not just because they hate their own country because it is so great and they want to ruin it.

Even pelosi is dying, looking at the three stooges destroy their 2020 chances.

So she wants to use Ramadan as a ploy to call their effort a hunger strike to get rid of ICE.

A faux Muslim, so full of malice, hate, and guile.

They can hunger strike until it reaches it normal conclusion. Fine by me.

I have never been able to understand why people think that everybody is supposed to knuckle under to their demands if they (supposedly) don’t eat.

Go ahead. Make my day.

Let me get this straight. They go on a hunger strike but we still get to eat? Go for it!

She could stand to lose a few dozen pounds.

To me she looks like an ugly carp or catfish, sort of like Mr. Limpet.
I can picture her with a hook in her mouth.

So if we continue enforcing the border, liberals stop eating? Sounds like killing two birds with one stone.

OK, I need to lose some weight so I will do some fasting for ICE. So, I will cut down on chocolate sauce with my ice cream. Will that help?

Somebunny feed this bitch a bacon sammich. Naah, why waste good pork ? Terrorist Tlaib should be locked in a room alone and shown what a REAL hunger strike is. We’ll come back and fetch her in 6 months.

If she tells us the where, I can pretty much guarantee a tailgate party. There is something about hamburgers frying, with onions, upwind... It carries, for hundreds of yards...

tell me.

who cares if someone goes on a hunger strike?

Why would it matter?

Let them strike.

If they die it is on their own head.

Trying to manipulate people with a hunger strike is like trying to manipulate them by holding one’s breath.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) urged her supporters to join her in a hunger strike to push for action to "shut down" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing the radical push to abolish ICE can't be achieved by Congress.

How convenient so close to Ramadan!

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) looks like she could lose a little weight herself.
