I Spoke to an ICE Detainee in Solitary on America's 250th Birthday. Here’s how you can help him
Gabriela Soto is 6 months pregnant with two young children, all U.S. citizens. Her husband Martin has been detained by ICE since he took part in a hunger and labor strike, and he has been held in solitary since being transferred to Elizabeth Detention Center over Memorial Day weekend. On the eve of America's 250th anniversary, I sat down with Gabriela and spoke with Martin from inside detention about the conditions, the retaliation, and why he still refuses to sign a voluntary departure.
This is their story, in their own words.
