AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoICE Detention Health Crisis: A Salvadoran man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo (about 39–41), died Aug. 1 after a “medical emergency” at Newark’s Delaney Hall, where his family and advocates allege he wasn’t getting consistent diabetes, high-blood-pressure, and seizure medication; ICE says staff responded and his cause of death is pending. Family Demands Answers: Relatives say he reported numbness on one side of his face and arm the day before he died and learned of his death from the hospital, not facility staff—prompting calls for release of medical records and an independent investigation. Political Pressure to Close Facility: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and U.S. lawmakers renewed demands to shut Delaney Hall, while officials including DHS/ICE leadership defended the response as meeting protocol. ACLU-NJ Pushes Medical Access Changes: The ACLU of New Jersey sent ICE a letter Aug. 5 seeking changes to visitation rules after the death, adding to mounting scrutiny of detainee care at the privately run center.
