4 migrants escape ICE facility during apparent revolt
A manhunt is underway for four detainees who escaped from a federal immigration detention facility in Newark. Amidst the ongoing search, detainees are being transported to unknown locations following a security breach. FOX 5 NY's Meredith Gorman has the latest.
Earlier in the day, about three dozen demonstrators protested outside the facility, alleging poor conditions. Amy Torres, executive director of the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, said a volunteer with a local rapid response network received a call from inside Delaney Hall claiming people hadn’t received food in more than 20 hours.
"When people started protesting over lunch, that's when things escalated with guards inside, and the facility went into lockdown," Torres said.
What they're saying:
The Department of Homeland Security has denied that a revolt took place and rejected claims of inhumane conditions.
"Contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest at the Delaney Hall Detention facility," the DHS said in a statement.
