Gabriela Soto's husband Martín was one of the leaders of the May hunger strike at the immigration jail. Martín was transferred to Elizabeth Detention Center, New Jersey's other ICE facility, during the hunger strike at Delaney. Gabriela is calling for the closure of both facilities. "At first, I was fighting for my husband, but then I started to meet all of these people who are just innocent, and they are the people that make this country great," says Soto, who blames her recent miscarriage on the stress of her husband being detained. "I am still grieving," she says. "To me, this is an ICE murder, too."
