 At an immigration detention facility in New Jersey, detainees have resorted to a hunger strike in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. ProPublica obtained audio from an advocate who spoke with 30-year-old Ronald Umania. On his fourth day without food, Umania describes what life is like inside. He says that there are officials who have come out positive from that disease and for that reason they are also coming from New York to work. And we are also afraid of the people who do not present themselves at work because they are sick. We made hunger strikes so that they would bring them toilet paper. We did it because they do not give them soap. Do you or what are you doing with the toilet paper? Did you make specific demands to the authorities? We talked to them that they would bring them toilet paper which is the most important thing. Things for the hygienist, how to clean their hands. They have it especially for them there, for them to put it on the table. It is disinfectant alcohol. And we never gave it to them. After you have decorated the shelter, how have you reacted to the authorities of the vacation? The answer is that if we do not eat, we are going to be threatened with tear gas, that they are going to tear it up, that they are going to be in jail. The authorities, they even come with air guns, they threaten them. One shoots them with tear gas, the other shoots them far away, they shoot them. And what happens when someone has all of them inside? Nothing? Or do they do something to protect them? Nothing, they do nothing. They only tell them that if one gets angry, they tell them, until we see that you are bad, if you get a strong fever, we cannot do anything to you. So many people say, but if you get a strong fever, because we have a lot of sick people, if you get a strong fever, we can die. And they say, well, something has to die. They have already said it, something has to die. But as for keeping health conditions, washing your hands and all this, did they make any announcement about what you should do to avoid the disease? What they said was that we had to wash our hands every now and then. So when they said that, we asked, we asked, we asked for soap, we asked for sanitary things to wash our hands, to clean our toilet, to clean our tent. And they said, when they come like this, the people in the house will betray them. And until now they have not betrayed them.
