Yeah, absolutely.

Well, thanks for shining a light on this because this is a problem not just for us in New Jersey, but all over this country.

This is a facility that has about 800 right now, several hundred of them participating in the hunger strike and the broader protests.

But I was able to go there a couple times and look at some of the things that I've heard most recently.

You know, these are people that are, for instance, a man telling me that he's got stage three lung cancer, doesn't want to be there anymore, willing to go back to his home country, but not being allowed to do so, not getting the medical care that he needs.

You know, there's a pregnant woman there telling me that she's not getting the medical care that she needs as she's gearing up to have a baby.

And she's literally looking me in the eye and she's saying, like, do I need to be prepared to have a baby here in Delaney Hall?

You know, she has no movement on her case, you know, no understanding what's happened next on the courts.

The woman that was translating this for me turned out to be an 18-year-old high school senior who's in there by herself.

I actually talked to her mom outside of Delaney Hall, and she's worried sick.

You can imagine having your daughter, an 18-year-old high school senior, in a detention facility by herself.

This is a young woman who was telling me all she wanted to do is go to the prom and graduate from high school this year.

And so when Trump's telling you these are the worst of the worst, telling you that he's going after the violent criminals, I wanted the people across this country to just hear what I'm hearing inside that facility.

And sure, they're complaining and raising the concerns about the medical care or the lack of medical care.

about the you know the horrible problems when they're having with food like one man ran up to me with a milk carton and showed me what was inside and it was just congealed solid on the inside and was disgusting and uh you know they're raising concerns about the extreme heat that they're feeling and i felt it too as i'm sweating there in their room and it wasn't even a particularly hot day

But what they were also flagging is just like the lack of any movement on their cases.

I mean, some of them in there for eight months, some of them in there for over a year, not having any movement forward in any credible way.

One man ran to the hallway and grabbed a piece of paper off the bulletin board and

And, you know, showed it to me.

And it showed me that, like, on one day, you know, when courts came back into session after the Memorial Day weekend, on one day, on that Tuesday, this one judge had 74 cases before her in, you know, in just one day.
