ProPublica spoke to immigrant detainee Ronal Umana on his fourth day of hunger strike at the Hudson County Correctional Facility in New Jersey.
The detainees have gone on a hunger strike because they have not been given any toilet paper or soap. And Umana said there are officials who said officers have tested positive for the illness.
“All the guards who used to work here – you don’t see them,” Umana said.
