SocietyDying in Detention

Fault Lines investigates rising deaths in immigration detention after President Trump’s crackdown. Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, died a month after entering California’s Adelanto ICE Processing Center in September 2025. His family says he repeatedly reported severe pain and sought medical care but received little beyond Tylenol; his heart stopped minutes after he reached a hospital. The report examines medical-care and oversight failures, alleged retaliation against hunger strikers, and private prison companies’ role in detention’s rapid expansion.
