> Fifty-three people died in ICE custody during Donald Trump’s first 500 days back in office. Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines investigates Ismael Ayala-Uribe’s death at a detention centre in Adelanto, California. A coroner attributed his death to complications from a pelvic abscess; his family says inadequate care in ICE facilities allowed a preventable infection to become fatal.
