Justice authorizes forced feeding of immigrants detained on hunger strike in the USA

Now6 September 2026 at 17:30

According to an investigation by the British newspaper 'The Guardian', a United States court has authorized a non-consensual intervention to facilitate the forced feeding of detained immigrants who are on hunger strike. The decision allows detainees to be fed directly into the stomach without their consent.

The measure applies to immigrants who are detained in detention centers in the United States and who decided to go on a hunger strike as a form of protest. The judicial authorization raises ethical and legal questions about the rights of detainees and the limits of forced medical intervention.

The newspaper 'The Guardian' revealed the details of this authorization after an in-depth investigation into the conditions of detained immigrants. Forced feeding directly into the stomach is a controversial medical procedure that has been the subject of debate in various detention contexts.
