ICE detainee who illegally re-entered US after deportation dies at Delaney Hall
A 41-year-old Salvadoran national who had illegally re-entered the United States following a previous deportation died whilst in custody at Delaney Hall Detention Center in New Jersey. The death prompted federal lawmakers to hold a House Judiciary Committee hearing to examine immigration enforcement practices and conditions at the facility.
During the hearing, Republican and Democratic lawmakers presented opposing views on the detention centre's operations. Republicans rejected what they characterised as inaccurate claims regarding ICE's treatment of detainees, whilst Democrats highlighted alleged concerns about inhumane conditions and hunger strikes occurring at the facility.
