SCOOP: ICE detainees participating in the Delaney Hall "hunger strike" have access to a growing stream of commissary cash thanks to a left-leaning group behind a massive fundraising effort, a
@realDailyWire investigation has found.
The org, SOMA Mutual Aid Collective, has raised more than $50,000 through its "Commissary and Communication Fund" while the so-called hunger striking detainees have been running to the commissary to fill up on snacks.
The coalition, which says it’s run by volunteers, raised roughly $68,000 as of the end of May and has now raised more than $120,000 to provide funds for detainees’ commissary accounts, according to The Internet Archive.
SOMA asks contributors to “make a recurring donation of $55/month and help someone detained afford basic food and necessities they are being denied.” The beneficiaries of the funds, it says, are “immigrants whose lives have been upended by the current mass detention and deportation drive.”
