Nearly 40 women detained at Delaney Hall, a privately run immigration facility in New Jersey, joined a hunger and labor strike on Thursday, adding their weight to protests already underway by men held at the same center. The women released a list of demands centered on basic human rights, including the release of detainees under 21. Delaney Hall has faced repeated criticism from advocates and lawmakers over its conditions and practices.
