Migrant Death at ICE Facility Sparks Outcry | Newark News

A Salvadoran immigrant, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, died at the Delaney Hall ICE facility after allegedly going without critical medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, and seizures — his family says it was preventable.

Governor Mikie Sherrill has pledged her administration is investigating what went wrong. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
