Salvadoran Migrant Dies in ICE Custody | Newark News

A Salvadoran migrant, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, died in ICE custody at Newark’s Delaney Hall Detention Facility after a medical emergency—his family says he was untreated for diabetes and seizures while detained. His mother reported he called her feeling ill before collapsing the next day. This tragedy reignites calls to shut down the facility, which has seen another detainee death last year. Local leaders demand accountability, while ICE insists care was provided—but lawmakers say they couldn’t get answers from federal officials. The family is demanding justice, noting no contact from ICE or the prison operator after his death, exposing deeper flaws in immigration detention systems nationwide.
