Overview

  • Two detainees, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, were recaptured by June 15 after breaking out of Delaney Hall on June 12.
  • Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Pineda-Mogollon remain at large with a joint FBI and DHS reward of $10,000 for information leading to their arrest.
  • Investigators say the men escaped by breaching a mesh-reinforced drywall barrier during protests over delayed and undersized meal portions.
  • The security breach has prompted a review of Delaney Hall’s procedures and infrastructure at the GEO Group–operated facility under contract with ICE.
  • Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. LaMonica McIver have escalated protests and legal challenges over alleged inadequate conditions and oversight at the detention center.
