Gustavo, a Salvadoran-American organizer and leader of the hunger and labor strikes occurring in the Mesa Verde and Golden State Annex immigration detention facilities since 2022, joins the podcast to discuss the terrible conditions that led to these efforts. Gustavo shares the myriad ways ICE regularly violates its own detention standards, what gives him hope while detained, and what the strikers are demanding: that ICE terminate its contract with GSA and Mesa Verde.
