Second Death at Delaney Hall Raises Questions About ICE Medical Care

A Salvadoran detainee, Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, died over the weekend at Newark’s Delaney Hall after about six weeks in ICE custody. His family says he reported feeling unwell and had numbness before his death; a habeas filing notes chronic conditions including epilepsy, high blood pressure, and diabetes. ICE says he suffered a medical emergency and received care, with the official cause of death pending. This is the facility’s second death in roughly 18 months, amid ongoing detainee concerns about medical neglect and related protests and advocacy calls for accountability.

The death is the facility’s second since its May 2025 reopening, fueling calls from advocates to close private detention centers. ICE reports 22 custody deaths this year, with lawsuits alleging medical neglect at Delaney Hall and renewed concerns about detainee health and visitation rights.
