ICE has confirmed for the first time under the Trump administration that at least one hunger-striking detainee was subjected to forced medical treatment—including force-feeding, hydration, or catheterization—practices widely condemned as torture. The revelation, detailed in a newly released ICE Health Service Corps document, comes amid reports of hundreds of detainees staging hunger and labor strikes across facilities like Delaney Hall and Adelanto, protesting inhumane conditions. Advocates warn of systemic failures, including denial of hunger strikes by ICE, lack of legal representation, and frequent judicial approval of forced treatment with minimal oversight. The document, produced in response to Senate appropriations requests, also projects steep medical costs for detainees, while past instances of similar force-feeding at El Paso and Guantanamo Bay underscore the enduring controversy.
