Three of Four ICE Detainees Apprehended After Delaney Hall Escape

Authorities have offered a $25,000 reward for the lone fugitive following outcry over flimsy construction at the privately run facility with reports of overcrowding.

Overview

  • The four detainees – Franklin Norberto Bautista Reyes, Joan Sebastian Castaneda Lozada, Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon, and Joel Enrrique Sandoval-Lopez – broke through an aluminum second-story wall on June 12 and used mattresses and bed sheets to scale barbed wire.
  • Federal agents have recaptured Reyes, Lozada and Sandoval-Lopez, leaving Pineda Mogollon as the sole escapee still at large.
  • A $25,000 reward has been offered for information leading to Pineda Mogollon’s arrest.
  • Local officials and critics have decried Delaney Hall’s overcrowded cells and inadequate food as evidence of wider issues in privately operated immigration detention.
  • Lawmakers and law enforcement are reviewing the facility’s construction and security measures at GEO Group’s Newark center during an administration push to intensify ICE operations.
