A third migrant detained at Delaney Hall, New Jersey's largest immigrant detention facility located in Newark, has died following a medical emergency.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told The Hill in a statement Thursday that, on July 19, a nurse was responding to another emergency when she noticed Guatemalan immigrant Jose Chajon-Raxon "experiencing seizure-like activity."Chajon Raxon, who had been detained the day before, was hospitalized shortly after the nurse spotted him. The man later died in the hospital, but because he was no longer in custody, the DHS spokesperson said Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) was not informed."While waiting for first responders to arrive, Chajon-Raxon was provided proper medical care from the nurse who reassured him he was safe," the DHS spokesperson said in a statement. "The nurse gave a comprehensive report to first responders and Chajon-Raxon was taken to the hospital and released from ICE custody on July 22. ICE was not notified of his death."The spokesperson did not elaborate on when Chajon-Raxon died. They added that "when an individual is no longer in ICE custody then ICE will no longer be responsible for monitoring or reviewing deaths that may occur.""This is common sense," the spokesperson continued. "ICE is not responsible when an individual passes away weeks after leaving their custody."Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.), an outspoken critic of Delaney Hall who has called for its closure, questioned the circumstances surrounding Chajon-Raxon's death in a Thursday post to the social platform X. The lawmaker said his death "exposes how ICE tries to avoid responsibility.""ICE cannot simply send a detainee out for medical care and pretend they aren't still on the hook, especially when GEO Group has repeatedly failed to provide care at Delaney Hall," he wrote. "I will keep fighting to shut this place down and shine a light on the poor conditions."Chajon-Raxon's death came to light less than two weeks after a Salvadoran man detained at Delaney Hall, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, also died from a medical emergency. The man's family claimed the detention facility did not provide him consistent access to medications needed to treat his ongoing health conditions.The New Jersey Division on Civil Rights announced days later that it would investigate the detention facility, privately owned by GEO Group, and examine whether the facility's staff violated detainees' civil rights — alleging inhumane treatment and failure to provide proper medical care.Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Lopez-Cornejo's cause of death was cardiac arrest but added that there were "no medical records of cardiac problems." He claimed the Salvadoran man was on a diet and given medication to treat hypertension and diabetes.In December, Haitian migrant Jean Wilson Brutus died following what Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) called a "medical episode." ICE said he died of natural causes.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
