In response to the death of Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, a community member detained at Delaney Hall, Amol Sinha, executive director at the ACLU of New Jersey, issued the following statement:“We mourn the loss of Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, who reportedly died after not receiving adequate medical care while detained.
This tragedy is another devastating result of the rampant inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall and detention centers across the country, including the routine denial of proper medical care, sanitary conditions, and food.
We demand accountability from ICE, the immediate closure of Delaney Hall, and an end to immigration detention once and for all.”
