Andy Kim on Hunger Strike, Living Conditions in Delaney Hall : DHS ‘Is Lying,’ ‘I Saw It with My Own Eyes’

EXCERPT:

KIM: “Well, first of all, I can tell you that DHS is lying. They’re lying because they are trying to cover this up. They’re in damage control. They saw what happens when the American people are outraged about this in Minnesota and elsewhere. And they know that they will lose control over this narrative, so they have to deny it. But I saw it with my own eyes, as did many of my colleagues. And this is something where, again, it’s not even just in Delaney Hall. As you pointed out earlier, it’s — facility and detention facility after another all across this country. And this is the brokenness that I see when I see, you know, an 18-year-old high school senior locked up there at Delaney Hall, when I see and talk to a pregnant woman who is not getting the care that she needs, or a man with stage three lung cancer.”
