Report: Detainees protest inside CoreCivic-owned Natchez ICE facility after hot food and hot water are halted
Detainees at the CoreCivic-owned Natchez ICE facility protested against poor living conditions, including spoiled meals, crowding, and power interruptions, which escalated after hot food and water services were reportedly halted due to maintenance. The protest involved around 80-100 men from two housing pods, some of whom were dispersed by facility staff in riot gear, who allegedly used pepper spray or tear gas. This incident follows previous complaints about overcrowding, a gas leak that sickened detainees, and continued issues with substandard food quality.
