New Jersey Investigates Delaney Hall Detention Center | Newark News

New Jersey’s Attorney General is launching a civil rights probe into Delaney Hall, the state’s largest for-profit immigration detention center, after reports of horrific conditions and multiple deaths—including the recent death of Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo. The investigation targets GEO Group’s alleged failures in providing humane treatment and medical care, as state officials accuse the company of blocking oversight and stonewalling inspections. Governor Mikie Sherrill has publicly backed the probe, calling for accountability amid growing public outrage over spoiled food, neglect, and withheld visitations. This follows a lawsuit seeking full inspection access and comes as families demand answers about preventable deaths at the facility since its May 2025 opening under a billion-dollar contract.
