Rep. LaMonica McIver demands closure of Newark’s Delaney Hall ICE facility after four detainee deaths, citing poor conditions and calling for transparency.
Rep. LaMonica McIver is calling for the closure of the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark after a visit she described as traumatic, following the death of 41-year-old Haitian immigrant Jean Wilson Brutus, which ICE attributed to suspected natural causes.
McIver, who faces federal assault charges she says were politically motivated, joined Democratic lawmakers in criticizing the facility’s conditions, citing overcrowding, poor medical care, and inadequate food.
The death of Brutus was part of a series of four detainee deaths in four days, prompting calls for an autopsy and transparency.
While ICE maintains the facility meets national standards and provides adequate healthcare, critics argue systemic failures persist, especially under the current administration.
An investigation into Brutus’s death is ongoing.
