After 76 days on hunger strike and almost a year in detention, Ajay Kumar has been released from ICE custody in El Paso.
At a hearing on Friday, the El Paso doctor said force-feeding was considered medically unethical, but that ICE's rules required her to do it.
Four Indian men have refused to eat since July 8 in hopes of being released on bonds while awaiting deportation hearings.
In their first interview with the press, the two Indian nationals say the force-feeding process was dehumanizing and painful.
In an extraordinary hearing that involved public and private testimony, a federal judge expressed legal support for the practice of force-feeding.
