4th detainee who escaped Newark ICE facility arrested in Los Angeles, FBI says
Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon, 25, was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to the FBI. He and three others had escaped from the Delaney Hall ICE detention center on June 12.
ICE told lawmakers the four detainees escaped through a hole in a wall of the facility. Two were taken back into custody within three days of escaping, and the third was captured on June 17.
All four have now been captured.
Mogollon was arrested previously on charges of petty larceny and residential burglary.
Delaney Hall has been a source of controversy in New Jersey for months.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka claims the ICE facility opened without undergoing necessary inspections or acquiring proper permits, which the Department of Homeland Security denies.
On May 9, Baraka and members of New Jersey's congressional delegation, including Rep. LaMonica McIver, went to Delaney Hall to conduct federal oversight and ended up clashing with ICE agents outside.
The mayor was arrested and charged with trespassing, but the charge was later dropped. McIver was charged with assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement, and has pleaded not guilty.
On June 12, detainees told family members they went without food for 20 hours, then were fed only a small amount. They also reported unhygienic conditions inside, while loved ones said visitation hours were inconsistent.
DHS has said they provide high quality services.

Former boss Rhodes in talks to run CBS News if Paramount-Skydance deal closes, Puck News said
(Reuters) -David Rhodes, Sky News executive chairman and former CBS News head, is in talks to run CBS News again if the Skydance acquisition of the broadcaster's owner Paramount Global closes, digital news website Puck reported on Friday. Rhodes, who was president at CBS from 2011 to 2019 and previously spent a decade with Fox News, has emerged as a likely successor at CBS News, where he may be advised by Bari Weiss, co-founder of online news outlet Free Press, Puck said. The New York Times reported last week that Skydance Media CEO David Ellison had held preliminary talks to acquire Weiss' Free Press as well. Tom Cibrowski is the current president and executive editor of CBS News. Reuters could not immediately verify the Puck report. CBS News, Paramount, Skydance and Sky News did not respond to requests for comment. Rhodes did not respond to a request for comment on LinkedIn. On Thursday, CBS canceled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the most-watched late-night program on U.S. broadcast television and a frequent platform of satire aimed at President Donald Trump. CBS said the show will end its 10-year run in May 2026 and described it as "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late-night." CBS-owner Paramount Global is seeking approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for an $8.4-billion merger with Skydance Media. Paramount earlier this month agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over an interview with his former Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris, that CBS's "60 Minutes" broadcast in October.

White House Reacts to California Official Asking Gangs to Take on ICE
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A spokesperson for the White House has launched a scathing attack on a California official who called on gangs to defend their neighborhoods from immigration agents. Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy, a suburb in southeast Los Angeles County, asked why street gangs had not stepped forward to "help out and organize" against the "biggest gang there is" in a video posted on social media in June. "Violence and crime perpetrated by illegal gangs are a serious issue that has wreaked havoc on American communities. Gonzalez's comments are despicable and mock the victims of gang violence in the United States," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Newsweek. "Violent crime is not a joke, and urging violent illegal gangs to fight ICE officers at a time when they are facing an 830 percent increase in assaults is even worse. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself," she added. Newsweek has contacted Gonzalez for comment via email outside normal office hours. Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy, California. Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy, California. City of Cudahy Why It Matters California has become a key battleground state for immigration enforcement, with tensions running high between federal authorities and Democratic lawmakers, as well as their local communities. President Donald Trump has directed ICE agents to ramp up operations in sanctuary states as his administration looks to remove millions of migrants without legal status to fulfill his campaign pledge of widespread mass deportations. What To Know At a city council meeting on Tuesday, Gonzalez responded to the incident by saying: "I just want to take some time to address the short, satirical TikTok video I made recently that drew national headlines and public criticism. To be clear, I created this video in my personal time and on my personal page." "The message was not about violence; It was about regular people … claiming ownership of our streets in a time of great distress and asking others, who I mentioned in my video, in organizing and protesting against the harm and violence being inflicted on our community." The video has since been removed from her social media profiles. In the now-deleted TikTok video, Gonzalez said: "18th Street, Florencia, where's the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory. … You guys tag everything up—claiming hood. And now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you. "It's everyone else who's not about the gang life that's out there protesting and speaking up. We're out there fighting our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people and, like, where you at? "Don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing. If you're not showing up right now, trying to help out and organize, I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone." The Los Angeles Police Protective League has called for her resignation following the incident. Gonzalez has not publicly indicated that she is considering stepping back from her position. What Are People Saying Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy, California, said at a meeting: "I want to apologize to city staff, members of the council and my community that my video took attention away from the pain our communities are experiencing and brought unnecessary attention to our city." Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, previously told Newsweek: "Vice Mayor Gonzalez's comments are despicable. She called for criminal gangs—including the vicious 18th street gang—to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement. This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our brave ICE law enforcement officers. Democrats must stop comparing ICE to the Gestapo and calling for violence against our law enforcement." The City of Cudahy said in a statement on June 24: "The comments made by the Vice Mayor reflect her personal views and do not represent the views or official position of the City of Cudahy. The City will not be providing further comment."
