Rapid response guide for supporting hunger strikers in ICE detention (more info in post)
[The folks at La Resistencia](https://laresistencianw.org/), a grassroots organization led by undocumented immigrants and people of color who have been caught up in the system, has been providing solidarity to hunger strikers at NWDC since 2014.
They’ve written [these guides](https://laresistencianw.org/hs-protest-projects/) based on their experience on supporting strikes inside detention centers, which they just updated for 2026.

As the hunger and labor strikes at Adelanto and Delaney Hall roll on, it’s important that we note these ICE captives are not the first to try this courageous and dangerous tactic and they won’t be the last. We saw [hunger strikes earlier this spring at the North Lake ICE Processing Center in Baldwin, Michigan](https://michiganadvance.com/2026/04/22/protestors-gather-outside-baldwin-facility-as-immigrant-detainees-held-by-ice-launch-hunger-strike/).
[The now-deported Rogelio Bolufe](https://www.gtfoice.org/) launched a strike [on his own at the Torrance County Detention Facility in New Mexico](https://sourcenm.com/2026/05/08/nm-ice-detainee-says-he-was-subject-to-sudden-transfer-poor-conditions-amid-10-day-hunger-strike/) and after a retaliatory transfer did so again at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. Last week, we saw another brief hunger strike at NWDC, in what [local activists estimated was the 17th attempt inside this camp alone](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZyet0qD9by/). As these efforts move forward, we all need to be prepared to do what we can to act in support.
