One of the four detainees who escaped from an ICE detention center in New Jersey has been recaptured.
On Saturday, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez was captured in Passaic by FBI and ICE agents.
Sandoval-Lopez was arrested twice in the last year, once for illegally possessing a firearm and again in February for aggravated violence. Authorities offered $10,000 for information leading to the fugitives’ apprehension.
He and three other detainees escaped from Delaney Hall on June 12th after approximately 50 convicts launched a mutiny and pulled down a dormitory room wall inside the center.
Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin revealed that some of the migrants may have escaped by fashioning a rope out of bedsheets to descend from their dormitory.
Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, and Andres Pineda-Mogollon are still on the run.
