ICE Centers Force-Feed Detainees in Cases Spanning More Than 10 Years

Summary
The Guardian investigation found detainees have been force-fed in some ICE detention centers, exposing a practice advocates say occurs largely out of public view.
More than 10 years of similar cases suggest the practice is not new, but attorneys and advocates say it is becoming more alarming under the administration's tougher enforcement approach.
Expanding detention and aggressive crackdown tactics are driving the concern, with critics warning the secretive use of force-feeding is happening behind closed doors.
