Chicago pastor collapses on hunger strike

A Chicago pastor is recovering at home after he was hospitalized during a hunger strike for immigration reform.

Jose Landaverde was on the 14th day of a hunger strike when he collapsed Thursday evening. He has been only consuming liquids.

Emma Lozano, the head of the group Centro Sin Fronteras, says Landaverde was treated at Stroger Hospital and released.

Landaverde, who is also a diabetic, was resting at home on Friday.

Other activists will take over the fast. They include a member of the Chicago-based Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.

Landaverde is the head of Our Lady of Guadeloupe Anglican Church in Chicago's heavily Mexican Little Village neighborhood.

He and several others are calling for an end to deportations.
