(Just The News)—After a month-long manhunt, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have captured all four criminals who escaped the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. They are all men in the country illegally, citizens of Colombia and Honduras with extensive criminal histories.
After escaping on June 12, one was arrested in California, two were arrested in New Jersey, one turned himself in to authorities in New Jersey.
Delaney Hall, a privately-owned detention center in Newark, is contracted with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to house dangerous criminals, including the four fugitives who escaped last month. Their criminal histories include aggravated assault, terroristic threats, burglary, threatening to kill law enforcement officers, among other charges, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of New Jersey.
The facility was also the scene where three Democratic members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation attempted to enter on May 9 while a protest ensued outside that turned violent. Last month, U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was charged in a three-count indictment for forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers as the riot escalated while she and others demanded entry. She denies the charges and says they are politically motivated. If convicted on all three counts, she faces a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison.
One month after the riot and altercation with authorities, four detainees escaped the facility “by breaking through an aluminum second-story wall, dropping mattresses through the opening in the wall to provide a landing place on which to jump, and utilizing bed sheets to cover barbed wire in order to climb over the fence,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
All four have been arrested, including the final fugitive who remained at large, Honduran national Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes. He illegally entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration, according to DHS records. On May 3, Wayne Township, New Jersey, police officers arrested him on charges of aggravated assault, attempting to cause bodily injury, making terroristic threats, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes.
On July 17, the third escapee was arrested by ICE-Enforcement Removal Officers-Los Angeles: Colombian national, Andres Pineda-Mogollon. He entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2023 under the Biden administration but failed to follow the terms of his admittance and overstayed his visa. After two years of illegally living in the U.S., he was arrested in April by New York City Police officers for petit larceny. In May, he was arrested by police officers in Union, New Jersey, for residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary, and possession of burglary tools.
On June 13, the second escapee, Honduran national Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, was arrested in a joint operation conducted by ICE officers, the FBI and police officers in Passaic, New Jersey. While being arrested, he kicked and threatened to kill the law enforcement officers making the arrest, DHS said. His criminal history includes unlawful possession of a handgun and aggravated assault.
On June 15, the first fugitive was detained after he turned himself in – twice.
On June 13, Colombian national Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada attempted to turn himself requesting to be taken into custody at the New Jersey State Police Bridgeton Station. Because state police refuse to cooperate with ICE, they denied his request despite his criminal history that includes arrests for burglary, theft, and conspiracy to commit burglary.
Two days later, on June 15, Castaneda-Lozada again surrendered himself, this time to federal authorities, the FBI and ICE, in Milleville, New Jersey. They took him into custody.
All four men remain in custody pending state and federal charges.
The altercation with ICE officers in May occurred as attacks against ICE officers have escalated over the last six months as they carry out targeted enforcement and removal operations of some of the most violent criminals in the U.S. nationwide. Recent armed violence includes ICE officers being shot in California, Texas and New York while performing their duties or being off-duty.
Assaults against ICE officers are now up by 830%, DHS says, The Center Square reported.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
