Argentina: Mapuche Leader Facundo Jones Huala Transferred After Nearly 40 Days of Hunger Strike

Argentine federal authorities have ordered the transfer of Facundo Jones Huala, a Mapuche leader and prominent figure in the Mapuche Ancestral Resistance (RAM), to Esquel prison, where he will remain in pretrial detention as part of an investigation for aggravated illegal association. Imprisoned since June 2025, he had been on a hunger strike for nearly 40 days to demand a transfer to a facility closer to his territory and community. His health having deteriorated significantly, he was hospitalized in Rawson under police guard. The transfer to Esquel will take place as soon as doctors deem his health compatible with travel.

"Voices from Delaney Hall: Family and Community Members Demand Release of Loved Ones from ICE Jail

Hundreds of immigrants detained at the ICE jail known as Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, have been on a hunger and labor strike for nearly two weeks. They are protesting the conditions at the jail, including spoiled food that has had maggots in it, overcrowding and inadequate medical care. Detainees are also forced to work for around $1 per day. In retaliation against the strike, guards at Delaney Hall have reportedly beaten participants, and family visitation was temporarily suspended. The strikers are demanding their release from the ICE jail and that the most vulnerable populations are freed first.

Detainees’ family members, along with immigration advocates and anti-ICE protesters, have been rallying outside Delaney Hall since the strike began. Democracy Now!’s María Taracena was outside Delaney on Tuesday. She spoke to a man who had just been released from detention, a community organizer, a lawyer and family members who were waiting to visit their loved ones inside the ICE jail."

She spoke to a man who had just been released from detention, a community organizer, a lawyer and family members who were waiting to visit their loved ones inside the ICE jail. Police have erected barricades half a mile around Delaney Hall, “making it more and more difficult to go and visit those who are on labor and hunger strike,” says Natalie, a New Jersey volunteer with the mutual aid group Eyes on ICE. “I was trying to see my father. He recently got put in,” says the daughter of a man being held in Delaney Hall. She is struggling to find legal support for her father. “He does not deserve to go to another country when he belongs in this one.”

Today in Labor History June 4, 1913: Emily Davison was trampled by the King of England’s horse, Anmer, during a women’s rights protest at the Epsom Derby. She died a few days later. While in the hospital, she received hate mail. The queen described Davison as a "horrid woman."

Davison was an English suffragette, feminist, and socialist, who fought for women’s right to vote in Britain. She was a militant member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), which had been formed in 1903 by Emmeline Pankhurst, mother of Sylvia Pankhurst, a labor activist and Council Communist (anti-authoritarian leftwing communist). Davison was arrested nine times, spent months in prison, went on 7 hunger strikes, and was force-fed forty-nine times. Over time, she learned to barricade herself in her prison cell to delay or prevent the torturous forced-feedings. She was arrested in 1909 for trying to throw a stone at a Cabinet Minister. In 1910, she participated in the vandalism of the Crown Office in Parliament. In 1911, she developed a newer tactic: setting fire to postboxes, including one right outside Parliament. In 1912, she threw herself over a prison balcony, a distance of 30-40 feet to the ground, in an attempt to stop the barbarous force feeding of her comrades who were hunger-striking. She cracked two vertebrae and severely injured her head, but was force-fed nonetheless.
