A Guatemalan man, Jose Chajon-Raxón, detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, dies after a medical emergency. The outlets report that staff observe “seizure-like activity” at the facility, and he is later hospitalized, where he ultimately dies.
Both accounts say he is the third person to die after being held at Delaney Hall. The Guardian adds that the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown includes the facility’s operation, noting Delaney Hall reopened in May 2025. The Hill reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides details about the incident and indicates that nurses were responding to a separate emergency when they noticed the detainee’s condition.
While both sources agree on the core facts—death following a medical emergency, the detainee’s description, and the facility context—The Guardian frames the death within a broader tally of deaths at the reopened detention center, whereas The Hill focuses more on DHS’s statement and the timeline of staff noticing seizure-like activity.
