REGIONAL NEWS
New Jersey issued legal orders to investigate conditions at Delaney Hall, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement concentration camp in Newark. The legal orders, or investigative subpoenas, come less than one week after Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo died inside the facility. His mother said in an interview that he was not receiving proper medical care. Cornejo’s death marks the second detainee death inside Delaney Hall. The investigation will examine whether Geo Group, the prison company, employees are violating people’s civil rights. If violations are found, the state’s Attorney General’s Office will initiate a legal process that will require Geo Group to comply with N.J. law. People can submit relevant information to state officials by contacting the Affirmative Enforcement Unit.
