On Sunday, Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, of Colombia, was taken back into custody, officials said. He was arrested in May on suspicion of burglary, theft and conspiracy to commit burglary, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
His capture came a day after the first of the escapees, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez was nabbed in Passaic by FBI and ICE agents on Saturday.
Sandoval-Lopez, of Honduras, entered the US as a minor in 2019 and was arrested first in February on an aggravated assault charge and later in October on charges of unlawful possession of a handgun, according to DHS.
The two other detainees, Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, of Honduras, and Andres Pineda-Mongollon, of Colombia, are still at large.
The four men originally escaped on Friday during an “uprising” within the privately run facility that created a cover for their daring jailbreak. They somehow broke through a “drywall with a mesh interior” in a unit that connected to an exterior wall and into the parking lot, New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim said at a news conference.
However, DHS contradicted Kim’s claims of supposed chaos within the detention center, asserting that there had been no “widespread unrest” on the day of the escape.
The agency claimed that the four men had immigrated to the United States illegally between 2019 and 2023.
Bautista-Reyes was arrested in May on charges of aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, according to DHS.
Pineda-Mongollon of Colombia overstayed his tourist visa after entering the United States in 2023 and was arrested in April for petit larceny and, later, suspicion of residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary and possession of burglary tools in May, according to DHS.
The department labeled all four men as “public safety threats.”
