Around 300 immigrants detained at the Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark, New Jersey, have been on a hunger and work strike since Friday while advocates have been staging a solidarity protest outside to promote the detainees' demands to be released from the jail. Gabriela Soto is the wife of one of the hunger strike’s organizers and an organizer herself of the ongoing protest outside Delaney Hall. “They are not alone inside,” she says. “We're not letting anything happen to them.”
