AP reported that Jose Chajon-Raxon had a seizure after being processed into Delaney Hall, described as a privately run immigration jail in Newark. DHS said he was taken to a hospital and released from ICE custody on July 22. AP also reported recent protests and a hunger strike over conditions at the facility.

Rep. Mejia's official House page says she published an op-ed accusing DHS of medical abuse at Delaney Hall and calling for the facility's closure. The same page lists a June 3, 2026 press release titled 'Rep. Analilia Mejia Confronts Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mullin on Delaney Hall.'
Assessments
Delaney Hall has not been closed for good; recent reporting in August 2026 described it as still operating as an ICE detention facility. However, Mejia has taken concrete federal-office actions during her House term, including publicly calling for closure and using her Homeland Security Committee role to press DHS over Delaney Hall conditions. That supports partial credit and an effort badge, but not full delivery of the promised outcome.
