    #Immigrant Held at #DelaneyDetentionCenter Has Died, Officials Say

    Why the name, Detention center sounds far too harmless for death, misuse and abuse camps.

    Call them what they are Gulag, or Death Camps.

  6. #Immigrant Held at #DelaneyDetentionCenter Has Died, Officials Say

    The mayor of Newark identified the dead man as #EdwinJovannyLopezCornejo. The #NewJersey center has been the focus of intense scrutiny for its treatment of detainees.

    By Ana Ley, Tracey Tully and Mark Bonamo, Aug. 3, 2026,

    "A #Salvadoran immigrant who was being held at a troubled federal detention center in Newark died during the weekend, according to the city’s mayor and Senator Andy Kim.

    "Federal officials confirmed the death of the man, who was being held at the detention center, Delaney Hall, to Mr. Kim’s office, according to the senator’s spokeswoman. Ras Baraka, the city’s mayor, identified the detainee as #EdwinJovannyLopezCornejo.

    " 'In less than a year, yet another family is forced to endure the unimaginable loss of a loved one while in custody at Delaney Hall,' Mr. Baraka said in a statement.
    In December, #JeanWilsonBrutus, 41, died after a medical emergency, federal officials said at the time. Delaney Hall was reopened last year to accommodate President Trump’s expanding immigration crackdown.

    "Officials with the Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which oversee Delaney Hall, did not immediately respond to questions about Mr. #LopezCornejo’s death. A spokeswoman for the Newark Department of Public Safety directed inquiries to the Justice Department, which did not immediately respond.

    "Katey Sabo, a spokeswoman for Mr. Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, said that officials at the ICE field office in Newark confirmed Monday to the senator’s office that a Delaney Hall detainee had died in federal custody.

    "Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey condemned the man’s death and expressed support for his family while demanding answers from the federal government about what happened.
    'My administration is working with our congressional delegation to gather all the facts surrounding this death,' Ms. Sherrill said. 'This tragedy is another painful reminder of why Delaney Hall should be closed.' "

  10. So it's fair that:

    • I am not allowed emergency healthcare, because trans

  12. One good thing coming out of the #MAGA #AmericaFirst anti #immigrant movement is the #global realization that the #UnitedStates is not nearly as important or powerful as everyone had thought. #Science will go on. #Trade will go on. #International cooperation will continue. They just won't be led by the US any longer. This is not necessarily a bad thing. #BrainDrain #Diplomacy

  14. The substance collected from the van driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo when he was shot & #killed by an #ICE agent during a traffic stop in #Houston this month was NOT drugs, acc/to a spox for the Harris County DA’s Office.

    This comes after the #FBI filed a warrant application saying the agency had cause to believe that an investigator found illegal drugs in the vehicle after the July 7 #shooting that killed the 52-yr-old Mexican #immigrant & longtime #Texas #resident.

  16. After 2 weeks of pummeling the world with their stupid survey, it looks like AP is **hungry** to put out something less annoying.

    Editor: Hey what's something about Jews that's not shitty. <thinking thinking> Wait! I've got it! What about... 💡 :everything_bagel:

    "The #bagel in #America is an #immigrant story with a hole in the middle.

    It came to America with Eastern #European #Jews escaping #poverty and #antisemitism. It landed in #NewYork street carts and neighborhood #bakeries. Later, it made its way to supermarket freezer aisles and into the breakfast order of so many every day. And like every food story, it starts with the first bite."

  18. So because genetics, my daughter is blue-eyed, brown-haired, and light-skinned whereas I'm brown-eyed, black-haired, and (somewhat)darker-skinned. But she's more comfortable with Spanish, so when the two of us go to museums, a staff member will give the Hispanic man(me) an English explanation on Armadillo diets, and then I'll translate it to Spanish for the benefit of a caucasian-looking girl, eliciting double takes.

    "Does she speak English?"

  20. NEW: ProPublica journalist Max Blau spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers.

    It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers?

    from #WorldOutlook July 14, 2026

    Less than a week after #ImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement killed Mexican construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, the scene played out yet again in #Biddeford, #Maine, on July 13. #JoanSebastianGuerrero, a 26-year-old #Colombian immigrant, was killed by agents who fired into his car as he left his home in the early morning. Once again, officials claimed he “weaponized his vehicle.” Once again, the federal agents were not wearing body cameras. Once again, Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) secretary #MarkwayneMullin said the victim was not the “intended target” of their operation. World-Outlook is publishing the article below from the Maine Morning Star, reporting on the #protests against the latest #ICE killing, for the information of our readers.

  24. Mexican #Immigrant Murdered by ICE on His Way to Work in Houston

    world-outlook.com/2026/07/13/a

    On July 7, 2026, #US #immigration agents added another name to the list of people they have shot dead. #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo, a #Mexican national who had lived on the US side of the border for 35 years, was on his way to work at a construction site in Houston, Texas, with three fellow workers. According to #ICE officials, he “weaponized his vehicle” against an agent and was shot by the officer acting in “self-defense.” Salgado died on the way to the hospital. His coworkers are all in detention. Almost immediately, the Salgado family and civil rights groups called for an independent investigation, saying they did not trust the federal government to tell the truth given its track record in other cases. Testimony from Salgado's coworkers — the only known eyewitnesses so far — supported the family’s suspicions. The ICE thugs’ story has begun to unravel.
