ICE detainees used video calls to expose facility conditions

Original: ICE detainees used facility's video calling software to expose conditions inside

Detainees at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Folkston, Georgia reportedly used the detention center's own video calling software to broadcast accounts of conditions inside, in connection with a hunger strike at the facility. The report has drawn attention to detention conditions and to how detainees found a way around restrictions on communication with the outside world.

Why now: The unusual use of a facility's own technology by detainees to get their message out is drawing fresh attention to conditions in ICE detention.
