Delaney Hall Deaths Spark Shutdown Calls | Jersey News
Description
Another deadly chapter at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark has ignited national outrage, as the third death in just 12 months—Edwin Lopez Cornejo, 41—has reignited calls for closure. His family and advocates dispute ICE’s claim that he received proper care, citing his known diabetes and hypertension. This follows the December death of Jean Brutus, also 41, whose collapse was downplayed by ICE. Now, all Democratic New Jersey lawmakers demand permanent shutdown, while local leaders echo the tragedy as “unimaginable.” Meanwhile, President Trump and GOP allies defend the facilities as among the best globally, deepening a bitter political divide over immigration detention safety.
