WASHINGTON — A rally was held Tuesday outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Headquarters to support the undocumented immigrants who started a hunger strike in a Texas detention center. The protesters delivered a petition to immigration officials demanding the release of all the detained mothers and children. The mothers stopped the hunger strike ten days ago and are relaunching it Tuesday. ICE said in its statement that it “fully respects the rights of all people to voice their opinion without interference, and all detainees, including those in family residential facilities such as Karnes, are permitted to do so.”
