“"Obama Is Trying to Vanish Us": Immigrants Fight Record Deportations with Protests, Hunger Strikes” aired on March 13th was about how immigrants at  at the Northwest Detention Center are going on a hunger strikes to stop the deportations that Obama's administration has allowed. The detainees have been worn by the guards that if they don't eat then they will be feed by force. They want to force feed the detainees just like in Guantanamo and its not fair because they can't have their right taken away. Like one of the hunger-striking immigrant said, we might be immigrants but we are all human beings. The only thing that these people want to go home to their families, how are the families suppose to sustain themselves if the dad is detained in a place like this. In “A War on Campus? Northeastern University Suspends Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter” was about a group or organization about the Palestinian cause that has been suspended from the university & most likely from any other university that starts a group or organization what has to do with Palestinians. Universities might be taking students freedom of speech on campus, since young jewish students and other students even faculty  are getting more involved and express support to the Palestine solidarity movement.
