Yesterday, CHC Chair conducted an oversight inspection of Delaney Hall amid a hunger strike inside the facility.
Detainees reported overcrowding, retaliation, and inadequate medical care. Espaillat was joined by Gabriela Soto, whose husband is detained inside after protesting for medical treatment.
Now, Espaillat is introducing the Governors’ Right to Inspect Act to strengthen oversight and accountability at immigration detention facilities.
We are continuing to monitor the situation with our New Jersey delegation colleagues .
