Police arrested Sandoval Lopez again last February on charges of strict attack.

ABC News officials said federal officials told local law enforcement that the four detainees had fled. A notice was issued in the outlook and a continuous search.

The Ministry of Internal Security and the Federal Investigation Office offer a reward of $ 10,000 to obtain information that leads to its arrest.

“It is not clear where the detainees are, and if the other walls in the facility are weak,” Kim said during a press conference on Friday.

It seems that he began to happen later on Friday afternoon and cameras were rolling when people started sticking to the buses to prevent them from moving. Ultimately, people were pulled from buses by ice agents.

“We will now try to obtain a full confirmation from the ICE headquarters about the future of this facility and whether or not they will close it,” Kim said.

Kim said that the escape followed the “disorders” and disturbances over the past 24 hours related to food access to the facility.

“Because they were making the detainees around them, using cafeteria to be able to do so, which greatly boycotted the ability of the detainees to reach food, which caused a number of disturbances that occur,” Kim said.

Kim said this is at the top of issues related to parts of the foods obtained by the detainees in the facility, as well as concerns about depriving detainees of the visit.

“We don’t want this here in New Jersey,” Kim said. “We want to make sure that people are treated in dignity.”

The private security that runs the facility tried to control, along with the respondents ice agents, who have lost some detainees and cannot immediately get four.

He informed the detainees of the smell of gas inside, indicating that tear gas was used for calm. A migration group said that there are “gas reports, pepper spray, and possible fire.”

With the spread of words for internal protest, the demonstrators descended on the facility, trying to prevent ice agents from entering and going out all night.

Immigration groups said that there is “insufficient or frozen food, boiling water coming from the tubes, and multiple canceled hours.”

On Friday morning, two men came out of the Dylani Hall. A man who claims to be arrested by chance and described the last circumstances inside.

He said, translated, “He does not know how to describe it, because he did not see the animals treated this way.” He also said: “He is thinking about leaving the country because he does not want to pass this again.”

Another man said he was chance when the agents were looking for another person. He said that he offered papers to agents, but they were told that they would treat it “because this is the way the new administration does things.”

Delaney Hall runs Geo Group, one of the largest private prison companies in a contract with the Trump administration. It can carry up to 1,000 immigrants at one time.

The site has been controversial since it was reopened earlier this year, which has stabbed Newark officials in the employment certificate. Representative Lamonica McGever was accused of assaulting federal agents during a clash outside the facility last month. It was charged by a major federal jury earlier this week and is scheduled to be called on Monday. She said that she would invite non -guilty.

In response to the protest on Thursday night, McVer said, “Until now, we hear reports from news organizations and preachers on the ground about the lack of food and basic rights of those at home, and it seems that the administration is making stone efforts to learn the truth.”
Makver said she had contacted the ice for answers.

The Nark’s mayor Ras Barka was previously arrested on charges of infringement on the site, but these accusations were dropped. Baraca has issued a partial statement, “We are concerned about reports about what happened in Dylani Hall this evening, from blocking food and bad treatment, to the uprising and detainees.
