Four detainees at Newark immigration facility have escaped, DHS says

Four people detained at an immigration detention center in New Jersey have escaped, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The detainees were being held at the Delaney Hall facility in Newark, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been holding individuals who are facing possible deportation. The four people were unaccounted for Thursday night, and federal authorities were looking into whether they were still on the grounds of the facility or had somehow escaped, senior officials said.

“DHS has become aware of 4 detainees at the privately held Delaney Hall Detention facility escaping,” according to a statement from the agency. “Additional law enforcement partners have been brought in to find these escapees.” It added that an alert had been made to area law enforcement and encouraged the public to call 911 or the ICE tip line if they had relevant information.

DHS and the FBI are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrest. They are deemed "public safety threats" by the agency, which identified the four men as Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada and Andres Pineda-Mogollon. They are from Honduras and Colombia, and each had previously been arrested in New Jersey based on different reasons.

The GEO Group, which is the private company that runs the facility, said that it was working with ICE to find the men.
