US pressured to close Delaney Hall
Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, who was held at the Delaney Hall migrant detention center in Newark, has passed away following a medical emergency for which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not specify any details. He had re-entered the United States illegally on June 18 and has been detained at the facility since then amid widespread criticism over poor health conditions, lack of medical care, and the spread of illnesses, including the flu and COVID-19. His death has prompted calls from political officials to shut down the center, citing repeated fatalities and poor detention conditions. Lopez-Cornejo's family expressed their grief, emphasizing that he did not receive proper care for his diabetes and high blood pressure. This incident falls within ongoing criticism of Delaney Hall, which faces political and media pressure to close due to its poor detention conditions and violations.
