2 detainees who escaped from Newark immigration detention center have been recaptured
Two of the four detainees who escaped from a Newark, New Jersey, immigration detention center have been recaptured, according to The Associated Press.
The four men escaped from Delaney Hall, a privately-owned detention facility with 1,000 beds, on Thursday. They broke out by 'kicking through an interior wall,' Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a post on X.
The FBI said Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada were taken back into custody, according to the AP.
FBI Newark posted a wanted poster Sunday for the other two detainees, Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon. The agency is offering a $10,000 award for information leading to the arrest of either man.
All four escapees had been arrested on criminal charges, according to a previous news release from DHS and the FBI. Bautista-Reyes, a Honduran national, was arrested for aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes in May, according to the release.
Pineda-Mogollon, a Colombian national, was arrested in April for petit larceny and arrested last month for residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary, and possession of burglary tools, according to the release.
It's unclear if any of the escapees have legal representation. All four also face federal charges of escape from the custody of an institution or officer, according to the FBI Newark's poster.
Delaney Hall has been the center of repeated protests since it opened in May. Both a sitting congresswoman – Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver – and Baraka were arrested during protests there. Charges against Baraka were dropped, while McIver was indicted on charges of forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers; the congresswoman says the charges are baseless.
Thursday's escape happened after 'chronic food shortages, undrinkable water, crumbling mesh walls, and inadequate staffing' caused 'chaos,' according to Amy Torres, executive director of the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. She previously told CNN that unrest began after the detainees had been fed insufficient lunch after going more than 20 hours without food.
DHS has said 'there has been no widespread unrest' at the facility.
CNN has reached out to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security for more information.

Live Updates: Minnesota Man Charged With Murdering Lawmaker
Pinned Updated June 16, 2025, 5:54 a.m. ET Ernesto LondoñoJeff Ernst and The largest manhunt in Minnesota's history came to an end on Sunday when a man accused of assassinating a state lawmaker and shooting another was finally captured after SWAT teams used drones to track him crawling through a wooded area outside Minneapolis. The suspect, Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested and charged, concluding an extensive two-day search that rattled Minnesotans. Mr. Boelter surrendered near Green Isle, Minn., a town where he had a home with his wife and children. The police said they searched the area after a resident spotted the suspect on a trail camera. Mr. Boelter was charged late Sunday evening with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. New details emerged about the attacks against the lawmakers at their homes in the Minneapolis suburbs on Saturday. One shooting killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark; the other wounded State Senator John A. Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Mr. Boelter entered the Hoffman home by introducing himself as a police officer, and he wore a rubber mask and a bogus badge during the attacks, officials say. The couple's daughter called 911, police officers decided to check Ms. Hortman's home. They arrived to see Mr. Boelter shoot her husband through an open door, and exchanged gunfire with him before he escaped. If the officers had not proactively gone to the Hortman home, 'I have every confidence that this would have continued throughout the day,' said Drew Evans, the head of the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Here's what else to know: Next steps: Mr. Boelter is being charged under a state criminal warrant, and state officials are discussing with the F.B.I. and federal prosecutors about whether to also bring federal charges, an official from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension told reporters late Sunday. Investigators are also looking into whether anyone assisted him. The victims: Ms. Hortman served as speaker of the Minnesota House for a six-year period that ended this year and helped pass several key policies on abortion rights, marijuana legalization and medical leave. Mr. Hoffman is a fourth-term state senator and leads the Senate's Human Services Committee. Mr. Hoffman came out of a final surgery and was recovering along with his wife, who was also shot, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said Sunday. Read more › The suspect: Mr. Boelter and his wife run a private security company that promotes the use of S.U.V.s similar to those used by police departments, according to its website. The couple also appears to have run a religious nonprofit. According to the suspect's friend, he opposed abortion and had served on a state work force development board with Mr. Hoffman. Read more › The list: The suspect possessed a notebook that mentioned about 70 potential targets, some in neighboring states, that included politicians, civic and business leaders, and Planned Parenthood centers, according to law enforcement officials.

George Conway Burns 'Loon' Trump With A Scathing New Nickname After Parade Flop
President Donald Trump's weekend parade wasn't quite the extravaganza many had expected ― and critics such as conservative attorney George Conway couldn't help but laugh at him over it. As millions gathered at anti-Trump protests around the nation, the president's $45 million parade ― held on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army as well as his own birthday ― was marked by low turnout and even lower energy. Trump himself at times appeared bored as the day dragged on. Conway said Trump was hoping for the kind of spectacle seen in North Korea under dictator Kim Jong Un, then offered the president a tweak on that name: Kim Jong Loon. He wrote: Other Trump critics also compared the event to the type usually seen in places such as North Korea, with former Secretary of State and 2016 campaign rival Hillary Clinton calling it a 'low-energy Dear Leader parade.' The day before the parade, California Gov. Gavin Newsom also made a North Korea comparison: And Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) not only compared the parade to the kind favored by dictators like Kim, but also used it as an opportunity to introduce legislation to prevent such displays in the future.

Renewed Calls To Quell Political Violence
On Saturday evening, thousands congregated in Washington D.C. to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Army; this occurred amidst an escalated military conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. On Thursday night, Israel made a strike on the Iranian regime and its nuclear sites; continuing strikes between the two nations have followed. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09) joined the Rundown to discuss attending the army parade and his concern for Americans' and politicians' safety. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed the 'Unleashing American Drone Dominance' executive order to enshrine American leadership in the development, commercialization, and export of drones. Drones can be used in all facets of life, and Michael Healander, founder and CEO of Airspace Link, joins to break down the executive order and share why drones are beneficial.
