Death at Delaney Hall Sparks Outcry | Newark News

A 41-year-old immigrant detainee, Edwin Jeovanny Lopez-Cornejo, died after a medical emergency at Delaney Hall — the second death there since December. His family claims he was denied critical medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and seizures, while ICE insists proper care was provided. Critics, including Rep. LaMonica McIver, argue the facility is ill-equipped for chronic health needs, calling it “cruelty and chaos,” while the governor demands its closure. Amid this outcry, McIver faces federal assault charges she calls politically motivated — but vows to keep fighting for accountability.
