Overview

  • Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon was arrested after a traffic stop in Los Angeles’s Silver Lake neighborhood on July 17, marking the end of the multi-agency manhunt.
  • Two detainees were recaptured within three days of the June 12 escape and a third was arrested on June 17 after authorities increased the reward to $25,000.
  • The men escaped by breaking through a lightweight interior wall, dropping mattresses from the second floor and scaling fences covered with bedsheets.
  • Delaney Hall is managed by the GEO Group under a multimillion-dollar ICE contract and is under federal security and procedural review for its handling of detainee conditions.
  • Newark’s mayor and New Jersey legislators have filed legal challenges and oversight demands over the facility’s opening without proper permits and reports of overcrowding and poor hygiene.
