    My coworkers (who are brothers) were abducted by ICE eight months ago and detained at this facility. They just recently came back after their mother fought tooth and nail for them to be released. They said it was a grueling process, every time legal documents for their release were submitted, the people in charge would claim they were faked.

    There were regular hunger strikes at this facility but the powers that be largely didn’t care - it meant they spent less money on food.
