A Salvadoran man has died at an immigration detention center in New Jersey, renewing scrutiny of conditions at the facility and prompting fresh calls from Democrats and immigrant advocates for it to be shut down.
Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, 41, died Saturday at Delaney Hall in Newark, where he had been held since his June 18 arrest. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Lopez-Cornejo was accused of entering the United States illegally. His official cause of death is pending.
