In California, 39-year-old Ismael Ayala-Uribe was pronounced dead on Monday after he was found unresponsive at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. Ayala-Uribe was brought to the U.S. from Mexico at the age of 4 and lived in Westminster in Orange County, his home for most of his life. He was approved for DACA in 2012, but his request to renew that protection was denied in 2016. Ayala-Uribe died one day after he received emergency surgery for an abscess; his treatment came three days after he first complained of pain, and after his cries for help fell on deaf ears at the privately run ICE jail, which is operated for profit by the GEO Group. Ayala-Uribe is the 14th person to die in federal immigration custody since January.
In more immigration news, CNN reports it has identified more than 100 U.S. citizen children, from newborns to teenagers, who have been left stranded without parents because of immigration actions this year. The parents were arrested by ICE during raids on workplaces ranging from farms to meatpacking plants, coming out of ICE check-ins or when dropping their kids off at school.
