Over 300 detained immigrants and their allies have initiated a hunger strike in Washington State, protesting conditions and policies at one of the nation's largest immigrant detention centers. This movement coincides with a separate hunger strike by a California man, now in its 19th day, aimed at demanding changes across all U.S. Mexican consulates. The action in Washington follows the death of a man who had been held in solitary confinement for more than three years at the detention center, a fact revealed through federal data analyzed by the University of Washington's Center for Human Rights.
