Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, 41, had been held at Delaney Hall in Newark after being arrested June 18, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“This is not the first death of a detainee at Delaney Hall, and absent decisive action, it will not be the last,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Cory Booker said in a statement.
“I have visited the facility myself and witnessed these conditions firsthand, so I say this plainly: Delaney Hall must be closed immediately and permanently.”
ICE said Lopez-Cornejo “received proper medical care and was seen by medical professionals” while he was in custody.
The death is the second at Delaney Hall since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term, according to tracking by The Associated Press.
