Family members, attorneys say they can't get access to Newark ICE facility detainees
The search continues for two of the four men who escaped from an immigration detention center in Newark last week. This comes as advocates continue to protest the conditions at Delaney Hall. Attorneys for the detainees held there are still not being allowed in. A small group of protesters remained outside Delaney Hall Monday. They're upset over conditions inside the facility. Attorneys of detainees say they haven't been allowed in to Delaney Hall to visit clients, and relatives say the same. "He doesn't have any criminal history. He's a good guy." "Like the family, it's like they destroy us. They destroy us," said Silvanea Almeida, whose husband Renato is being held there. Almeida said she's been trying to see her husband without success. He was arrested two weeks ago at their home in Linden. Almeida said they've been in the U.S. for 25 years. "He doesn't have any criminal history. He's a good guy. He works hard to sustain the family. And I think it's not nice they take him like they did. He's not a criminal," Almeida said. Relatives and attorneys say they're being told very little about the detainees. Some say they don't know for sure if their loved ones are still being held there, or if they have been moved. Tensions boiled over Tensions boiled over last week. Relatives of detainees say fights broke out inside after complaints of overcrowding, and scarce meals. "It gives you an indication of how shoddy the operations are, how inhumane the operations are. I mean, the most basic things are food and water. People aren't getting food or water," Kathy O'Leary of Pax Christi New Jersey said. The 1,000-bed facility is privately owned, and advocates say basic human rights are not prioritized. "The more money they can save by not giving the right amount of food, denying medicine, medical treatment, they're saving themselves a lot of money," community organizer Carlos Castaneda said. Last week, Homeland Security pushed back on reports of worsening conditions and lack of access to services for detainees, saying "contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest at the Delaney Hall detention facility." Manhunt for escaped detainees Meanwhile, the search continues for two of the four men who escaped. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrests of Franklin Norberto Bautista Reyes, 20, and Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon, 25. Reyes had previously been arrested on aggravated assault and weapons, the FBI said. Mogollon was arrested on larceny and burglary charges, according to the agency. Anyone with information is asked to call the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line at 1-866-347-2423. The other two who had escaped have since been taken back into custody.

2 detainees who escaped from Newark immigration detention center have been recaptured
Two of the four detainees who escaped from a Newark, New Jersey, immigration detention center have been recaptured, according to the FBI. The four men escaped from Delaney Hall, a privately-owned detention facility with 1,000 beds, on Thursday. They broke out by 'kicking through an interior wall,' Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a post on X. The FBI confirmed to CNN that Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada were taken back into custody. FBI Newark posted a wanted poster Sunday for the other two detainees, Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon. The agency is offering a $10,000 award for information leading to the arrest of either man. All four escapees had been arrested on criminal charges, according to a previous news release from DHS and the FBI. Bautista-Reyes, a Honduran national, was arrested for aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes in May, according to the release. Pineda-Mogollon, a Colombian national, was arrested in April for petit larceny and arrested last month for residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary, and possession of burglary tools, according to the release. It's unclear if any of the escapees have legal representation. All four also face federal charges of escape from the custody of an institution or officer, according to the FBI Newark's poster. Delaney Hall has been the center of repeated protests since it opened in May. Both a sitting congresswoman – Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver – and Baraka were arrested during protests there. Charges against Baraka were dropped, while McIver was indicted on charges of forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers; the congresswoman says the charges are baseless. Thursday's escape happened after 'chronic food shortages, undrinkable water, crumbling mesh walls, and inadequate staffing' caused 'chaos,' according to Amy Torres, executive director of the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. She previously told CNN that unrest began after the detainees had been fed insufficient lunch after going more than 20 hours without food. DHS has said 'there has been no widespread unrest' at the facility. CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for more information. This story has been updated with additional details.
