FBI captures final illegal immigrant inmate who escaped ICE facility in New Jersey
The final illegal immigrant inmate who escaped an ICE center in New Jersey last month was arrested by the FBI after being tracked down on the other side of the country. Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon was taken into custody Thursday in Los Angeles after a traffic stop in the Silver Lake neighborhood, the FBI's Los Angeles Office wrote on X. Homeland Security Investigations assisted in the arrest. "We are tremendously grateful to our brave ICE agents and law enforcement partners for capturing Andres Pineda-Mogollon and the other three dangerous criminal illegal aliens who escaped Delaney Hall," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "Politicians and activists relentlessly try to smear ICE, but the facts remain true: Delaney Hall houses dangerous criminals, including these four fugitives who committed aggravated assault, burglary, theft and even threatened to kill law enforcement. Now, these slimeballs no longer pose a threat to public safety." The Colombian entered the U.S. in 2023 and overstayed his tourist visa. He was one of four inmates DHS described as "public safety threats" who broke out of Delaney Hall, a privately-run ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, the evening of June 12. Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, all from Honduras, were captured before Pineda-Mogollon. Their escape June 12 happened after an apparent disturbance inside the building, a senior Homeland Security official confirmed to Fox News. Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin told around 50 detainees at the private center pushed down a dormitory wall after becoming agitated when meals were delayed. "It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive, and it turned violent," Cetin said at the time. Pineda-Mogollon was arrested by the New York City Police Department April 25 for larceny and again on May 21 by the Union, New Jersey, Police Department for residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary and possession of burglary tools. Bautista-Reyes illegally entered the U.S. in 2021 during the Biden administration and was arrested by the Wayne Township, New Jersey, Police Department May 3 for aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. Sandoval-Lopez illegally entered the U.S. as a minor in 2019 and was arrested by the Passaic Police Department in October for unlawful possession of a handgun and again Feb. 15 for aggravated assault. Castaneda-Lozada entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was arrested by the Hammonton Police Department May 15 on charges of burglary, theft and conspiracy to commit burglary.

Last of 4 detainees Recaptured after escape from New Jersey immigration detention center
The final detainee who escaped in June from a New Jersey federal immigration detention center has been found in California. Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon, originally from Colombia, was arrested following a traffic stop in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake, the FBI's Los Angeles division said in a social media post on Thursday. Mogollon, 25, and three other men had busted out of the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark during reports of disorder there by breaking through a wall and escaping from a parking lot, according to US Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, and Homeland Security officials. All four men were in the country illegally and had been charged by local police in New Jersey and New York City, federal officials said. The men broke through an aluminum wall on the second story of the facility and dropped mattresses through an opening, giving them a place to jump, the FBI said. They used bedsheets to cover barbed wire to get over the fence, according to the bureau. Mogollon has been charged with escaping a federal institution. He was previously arrested on local petty larceny and residential burglary charges, the FBI said. It's unclear who is representing Mogollon. A message was left seeking comment with the Office of the Federal Defender for the District of New Jersey. The FBI had offered a 25000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
