Overview

• ICE says Ayala-Uribe, 39, was arrested on Aug. 17, transferred to Adelanto on Aug. 22, evaluated on Sept. 18, and sent to Victor Valley Global Medical Center on Sept. 21 for an abscess that was scheduled for surgery.
• He was documented as hypertensive with tachycardia, was found unresponsive at 1:48 a.m., and was pronounced dead at 2:32 a.m. on Sept. 23, according to the agency.
• The cause of death remains under investigation by ICE and local authorities, and required in-custody death reports must be made public within 90 days.
• ICE identifies the case as the 14th detainee death this year, as the Adelanto facility faces longstanding complaints over medical care and has seen recent crowding strain conditions.
• Family members say he became ill in detention and lacked timely care, while Mexico’s consulate has engaged to ensure a thorough review.
