immigration detainees: Over 50 immigration detainees -- all black and brown men -- have continued their hunger strike for a second week to demand a meeting with Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and protest indefinite detention of migrants, according to Rabble. The detainees have not eaten anything, only had water, for 14 days. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Despite calls from community organizations, lawyers, activists, and health professionals, Goodale shows no signs of agreeing to meet with the strikers. In Ottawa last Thursday, nearly 20 people gathered outside of the Headquarters of Public Safety Canada to demand Goodale schedule a meeting with the strikers. Protestors confronted Immigration Minister John McCallum in Toronto last week and Colonialism No More - Solidarity Camp Regina protested his appearance at the University of Regina and eventually spoke with the minister.
