The four migrant detainees who escaped from a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark during a riot were behind bars for assault and burglary charges, police revealed Friday.
The men were identified as Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, both of Honduras, and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, both of Colombia.
Bautista-Reyes was arrested in May for aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Sandoval-Lopez was arrested twice in the last year, once for unlawful possession of a handgun and again in February for aggravated assault.
Castaneda-Lozada was busted in May on burglary, theft, and conspiracy to commit burglary charges.
Similarly, Pineda-Mogollon was being held on residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary, and possession of burglary tools charges.
Lopez illegally entered the US as a minor in 2019, while the rest of the men snuck over the border during the Biden administration.
The DHS and the FBI are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the four men.
