Death in ICE Custody Sparks Outcry | Panama City Beach News

Salvadoran detainee Edwin Lopez-Cornejo died in ICE custody at Newark’s Delaney Hall after a medical emergency, sparking outrage as his family claims he was denied critical medication for diabetes and high blood pressure — even calling them the day before he died. ICE insists he received proper care, but this tragedy joins a grim tally of at least 56 deaths in ICE custody during the current presidential term, fueling lawsuits and protests over detention conditions. The facility has seen multiple deaths, including another in July and a Haitian national in December. Complicating accountability, ICE now excludes deaths within 30 days of release from public reports. Family demands an independent investigation and calls for medically vulnerable detainees to be released, while New Jersey officials say inspections are being blocked — pushing for state-level action amid mounting calls for systemic reform.
