一名41岁的萨尔瓦多籍男子Edwin Lopez-Cornejo在位于新泽西州纽瓦克的Delaney Hall移民拘留所中死亡[1]。Lopez-Cornejo于6月18日被捕，并于周六去世，具体死因正在等待医学检查结果确认[1]。这是特朗普第二任期内该拘留所发生的第二起死亡事件，此前12月曾有Jean Wilson Brutus在该设施内死亡[1]。
该拘留所由私人监狱承包商Geo Group运营，近数月来因生活条件恶劣而引发持续抗议[1]。拘留人员曾进行绝食抗议，要求改善生活条件和医疗护理[1]。民主党参议员Cory Booker对此事件回应，表示"Delaney Hall必须立即永久关闭"[1]。根据美国移民及海关执法局数据，特朗普第二任期内ICE拘留中至少有56人死亡[1]。
A 41-year-old man from El Salvador, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died while in immigration detention at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [1]. Lopez-Cornejo was arrested on June 18 and died on Saturday, with the cause of death pending medical examination [1]. The 1,000-bed facility, operated by private prison contractor Geo Group, has been the site of ongoing protests over poor living conditions lasting several months [1].
This marks the second death at Delaney Hall during President Trump's second term, following the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in December [1]. The incident comes as ICE detention facilities have seen at least 56 deaths during this period [1]. Detained immigrants at the facility have staged hunger strikes demanding improved living conditions and medical care [1]. Democratic Senator Cory Booker responded to the death by stating that "Delaney Hall must be immediately and permanently closed" [1].
