Hunger Strike at Moshannon Valley ICE Center Reignites Calls to Shut Down Pennsylvania Facility After Two Detainee Deaths

Detainees at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center — the Pennsylvania facility operated by GEO Group where at least two people have died in ICE custody in the past year — have launched a hunger strike protesting conditions, medical care, and prolonged detention. Residents of Clearfield County have escalated pressure on county commissioners to terminate the contracts that allow ICE and GEO Group to operate Moshannon, citing the deaths and a long record of medical-neglect complaints from the facility.
