At Delaney Hall (an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey), over 300 detainees have been on a hunger and work strike since Friday. Read their most recent letter detailing the conditions inside the detention center and outlining their goals.

Here are a few ways people of faith can offer support, from our friends at Hands Off NYC Faith Table and the Interfaith Center of New York.
