Episode Details

A Salvadoran immigrant, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, died at the Delaney Hall ICE facility after allegedly going without critical medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, and seizures — his family says it was preventable. While federal officials claim staff responded immediately to his medical emergency, his family and advocates say they weren’t informed until Saturday night, and even then, from the hospital, not the facility. This is the second migrant death at Delaney Hall in under a year, sparking outrage and renewed calls for accountability. Civil rights groups and New Jersey politicians are demanding answers, as residents have long protested poor conditions and denied care — even staging hunger strikes. Governor Mikie Sherrill has pledged her administration is investigating what went wrong.
