Death at Delaney Hall Raises Questions | Newark News

A 39-year-old man, Edwin Jovanny, died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall after being held for six weeks—his family says he suffered from numbness, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Found unresponsive by fellow inmates, his death wasn’t communicated to them directly; they only learned when a hospital called to identify his body. His mother called the silence “insensitive and disrespectful,” especially since Homeland Security didn’t notify them first. This isn’t the first death at Delaney Hall: last year, Jean Brutus died just 24 hours after being detained there. ICE hasn’t commented on this case, though past statements claimed comprehensive medical care is provided—including 24/7 emergency services. The family’s urgent questions remain unanswered, and the lack of timely notification has sparked deep concern. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
