I will grow up without a father”: Heartbreaking reaction from daughter of Salvadoran man who died in ICE custody
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Edwin López Cornejo, a Salvadoran immigrant, was hospitalized on Saturday after suffering a 'medical emergency' while detained at Delaney Hall in Newark, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He died that same day. His mother, María Cornejo, said he called her the day before his death to report he had lost feeling in half of his face and one arm. Family members are demanding an independent investigation into his death, claiming he was denied proper medical care. López Cornejo's 12-year-old daughter, Ashley, expressed her sorrow, stating, 'I will grow up without a father... They didn’t let me see him one last time, and he died.' ICE stated that López Cornejo received appropriate medical care while in custody. His death has reignited calls for the closure of Delaney Hall, a facility that has been the focus of protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
