Freedom for Immigrants and partners filed two complaints with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) on behalf of South Asian men detained at the LaSalle Detention Facility in Jena, Louisiana. The men began a hunger strike on November 1, 2019, to protest their indefinite detention and demand their release. Since the start of their hunger strikes, one has been deported, while another was released to a sponsor on bond in late January. Since February 18, 2020, the whereabouts of two of the three men on hunger strike are unknown.
