A detainee at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, has died in federal custody. It’s the site of leftist ire and mayhem since Immigration and Customs Enforcement keeps some of the worst criminal aliens in the facility. It’s not some concentration camp, as many on the Left claim. But this incident will surely enrage the anti-ICE crowd and likely draw some protesters outside the facility again (via NYT):

A Salvadoran immigrant who was being held at a troubled federal detention center in Newark died during the weekend, federal officials confirmed Monday evening.

The man, identified by immigration officials as Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, was being held at the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, which has faced scrutiny and protests over the treatment of detainees.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which oversees Delaney Hall, said that Mr. Lopez-Cornejo, 41, was pronounced dead on Saturday by medical workers at University Hospital in Newark. After Mr. Lopez-Cornejo experienced a medical emergency at Delaney Hall, employees “responded immediately and called 911 for emergency medical services,” the agency said. The cause of his death was not known.

Mr. Lopez-Cornejo is the second Delaney Hall detainee to have died in the past eight months.

“In less than a year, yet another family is forced to endure the unimaginable loss of a loved one while in custody at Delaney Hall,” Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, said in a statement.

Border Patrol officials said that Mr. Lopez-Cornejo had entered the United States illegally in 2006. An immigration judge had ordered him removed at that time, and he was deported to El Salvador two months later, according to federal officials. He entered the country illegally again later and was arrested on June 18 in Plainfield, N.J. He was detained at Delaney Hall pending removal from the United States.

While in custody, Mr. Lopez-Cornejo “received proper medical care and was seen by medical professionals,” ICE said. His family and the Consulate of El Salvador in Elizabeth, N.J., were notified of his death.

People die in prison. It happens. Medical emergencies, too. So, to say that this was because of ICE or whatever is nonsense. The deportations will continue.
