Four detainees have escaped from a federal immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, amid reports of an outbreak of disorder at the facility, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed.
A senior DHS official told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in an effort to apprehend the four escapees. No further details were provided about the circumstances of the escape from the Delaney Hall facility in Newark, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) opened a 1,000-bed facility this year as part of the federal government’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
