ANOTHER HUNGER STRIKE AT IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTER In California, one hundred twenty Central Americans due to be deported began a hunger strike when their deportation was delayed. The detainees were upset by further delay in returning home to see their families following the destruction of Hurricane Mitch. After a few days, two of the hunger strikers needed medical attention. When officials attempted to remove them, the other detainees attempted to prevent the removal. In response, officials put the facility into a lockdown and called for reinforcements from local law enforcement departments. The sick detainees were treated and returned to detention that same day. The Lockdown was also lifted the same day. The delay in deportation was caused by the temporary inability of the Central American countries to accept the detainees because of the damage caused by Hurricane Mitch.
