Protests continue outside a federal immigration detention center in Newark, N.J., where some detainees are on a hunger strike.

Activists are also holding an around-the-clock vigil outside the facility while the strike continues. A blockade hopes to prevent detainees from being transferred to other facilities. The hunger strikers are protesting conditions inside, and demanding the closure of the facility and freedom for those detained.
