Two escapees from immigration detention center recaptured, two still at large
Two immigrants who escaped the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, were recaptured by authorities Friday.
Last week, unrest at the immigration detention center resulted in four detainees escaping. Authorities with the FBI did not publicize the detention of the two recaptured immigrants until Sunday. It also remains to be seen how they were captured. The final two remain at large as of Monday morning.
Detainees were protesting the center’s conditions because they were reportedly denied food. While the immigrants inside the center demonstrated by pushing over a wall and hanging bed sheets, protesters were outside the facility and prevented a facility vehicle from following the detainees as they escaped.
The two who were recaptured were Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez from Honduras and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada from Colombia. Sandoval-Lopez is facing charges of unlawful possession of a handgun and aggravated assault from two separate instances. Castaneda-Lozada has charges of burglary, theft, and conspiracy against him.
Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes from Honduras and Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon from Colombia have not been found. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to their capture. Bautista-Reyes is charged with aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats, and a weapons crime. Pineda Mogollon is facing charges of minor larceny and burglary.

Delaney Hall has seen several protests in recent weeks. Police arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside the center last month. However, charges against him were dropped.
The Department of Homeland Security also accused Reps. Rob Menendez (D-NJ), LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) of storming the facility as part of a protest over Trump administration policies regarding immigration. McIver is now facing charges of assaulting federal law enforcement.
