Last of 4 detainees recaptured after escape from New Jersey immigration detention center
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — 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 U.S. 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. The FBI had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Only 1 detainee who escaped from New Jersey ICE facility remains at large: FBI
Only one of the four detainees who escaped from an immigration detention center in New Jersey last week remains on the loose, according to federal authorities. The FBI's Newark field office said Tuesday it is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon, who remains at large after escaping from Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark nearly a week ago. The reward has more than doubled, increasing from $10,000. Mogollon, a 25-year-old Colombian national, has been charged with escape from the custody of an institution or officer, and a federal arrest warrant has been issued for him, according to the FBI. He is illegally in the country after overstaying a tourist visa, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Mogollon was previously arrested by the New York City Police Department in April for petit larceny and by the New Jersey Police Department in May for residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary and possession of burglary tools, according to DHS. He is one of four detainees who escaped from the Delaney Hall facility on Thursday. DHS described the four men as "public safety threats." As of Sunday, two of the detainees -- Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada -- were back in custody, while Mogollon and the fourth -- Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes -- remained at large, according to the FBI. As of Tuesday, Bautista-Reyes is no longer at large, according to the FBI, which has not released details about the apprehension of any of the escaped detainees. Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said at a news conference on Friday that the four men escaped from the facility by breaking through a wall -- which he described as "drywall with a mesh interior" -- in a unit that led to an exterior wall and into a parking lot. Kim said he was briefed on escape by the facility's administrators and ICE officials. Kim said the escape followed "disturbances" and unrest over the past 24 hours related to food access at the privately owned facility, which has been contracted out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. However, the Department of Homeland Security released a subsequent statement saying, "contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest" at Delaney Hall.

Ruins at Fort Selden Historic Site undergoing ‘major preservation work'
DOÑA ANA COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – The remnants of a hospital structure at the Fort Selden Historic Site in Radium Springs are undergoing 'major preservation work.' The land dates back as early as 400 A.D. and was first inhabited by Native American farmers called Mogollon. Fort Selden was established in April 1865 to bring peace to the region and was abandoned in 1891 as hostilities lessened and the needs of the military changed.

Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations Today, ruins from the fort still remain and have undergone preservation to protect them. 'We are working on room seven of the hospital structure. So it is the room that is closest to the company barracks, but it is still part of the hospital. We have restored it back to about six to seven feet in height with the wooden pieces replaced. We did not alter any of the original adobe. We just built around it to protect it,' said Emily Wilson, historic sites regional manager for Fort Selden Historic Site and Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site. Wilson said the elements have taken a toll on many of the adobe structures at the site, and preservation work on different buildings has taken place over the course of the years. 'We wanted to start with one of the [hospital] rooms, see how it turned out, and then we are definitely looking to continue that. The next bit of preservation work that you can expect to see us doing out on the site is we're going to be re-backfilling the corrals,' Wilson explained. In addition to preservation, Wilson said the historic site is always looking for ways to improve the visitor experience. 'We're always trying to update and better the language we're using, expanding the exhibit. Like I was saying earlier, you know, we're really putting a strong effort into making sure that we are including all of the stories that are relevant to our site, not just the military history,' she said. The Fort Selden Historic Site is open to visitors Wednesday-Sunday, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. The cost to enter is $5 for adults. Children 16 years and younger, NM disabled veterans, NM foster families, and Museum of New Mexico Foundation members are free. Click here for more info. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
