1 of 2 who escaped from Colorado immigration detention is found nearby
One of two men who escaped from a Colorado immigration detention center was arrested Friday after being found by a sheriff’s deputy about 12 miles away.
An Adam’s County Sheriff’s Office deputy approached Joel Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 32, around 4:30 a.m. because he seemed suspicious, sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Adam Sherman said. When it was determined he was one of the two men who escaped Tuesday night from the detention center in Aurora, Colorado, he was taken into temporary custody until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrived, Sherman said.
The other person who escaped on Tuesday night remained at large. They both apparently walked out of doors that opened during a power outage at the detention center in the Denver suburb, which is operated by The GEO Group under a contract with ICE.
ICE officials said they immediately asked local authorities for help finding the men. But Aurora police chief Todd Chamberlain said that they were not notified until over four hours after the men were gone. By that time, Chamberlain said it was too late for police to help.
Gonzalez-Gonzalez, who is from Mexico, had been held in the jail in Adams County from Feb. 9 through Feb. 12 in connection with local criminal charges, including second-degree motor vehicle theft, Sherman said. Court documents in the criminal case were not immediately available. He is being represented in that case by a lawyer from the public defender’s office, which does not comment on its cases to the media.
ICE said it arrested Gonzalez-Gonzalez on Feb. 12, and he was taken to its detention center pending immigration proceedings. Gonzalez-Gonzalez has been in the United States since 2013 and violated the conditions of his admission, it said.
It is not known whether Gonzalez-Gonzalez may have a lawyer representing him in his immigration case.

Three Coloradans became millionaires this month after winning big on Powerball lottery tickets bought in Denver, Loveland and Pueblo, according to a news release from Colorado Lottery.
One winner, identified as “Sean S.” in the release, played the same numbers used by his grandfather when the latter bought a Quick Pick ticket shortly before his death in 2018.
The numbers — 11-18-23-38-60 — netted Sean S. a $1 million prize on St. Patrick’s Day, which he learned of after receiving a notification on his phone.
He told Colorado Lottery that he plans to put most of the money toward retirement but may spend some on home improvements and a new car.
“A Corvette would be my favorite,” he said in the release. “But since I have two kids, maybe just a new Tahoe. It’s functional.”
Sean S. bought his ticket in Pueblo. A $2 million ticket was also sold in Denver, and a $100,000 ticket was sold in Longmont ahead of the March 19 Powerball drawing. The March 12 drawing also produced winners, including a $1 million ticket sold in Loveland and a $100,000 ticket sold in Rangely.
The Powerball jackpot had climbed to $444 million as of Saturday morning, with the next drawing scheduled for 8:59 p.m.
