"At 1:48 AM the Victor Valley Global Medical Center declared Ayala unresponsive and initiated lifesaving measures," the statement read. "He was declared deceased at 2:32 AM by medical staff."

A recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals since 2012, Ayala-Uribe was reportedly convicted of driving under the influence on multiple occasions and served a short jail sentence.

He was arrested as part of the Trump administration's assault on immigrants' rights, which has been met by massive protests across the country and multiple legal actions.

Despite Ayala-Uribe being the 14th person to die in custody this year, ICE insisted that it remains "committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments."

Speaking to CBS News, Ayala-Uribe's family said that he was in good health when he was arrested by ICE and sent to Adelanto. His mother, Lucia, said that he had died of a cardiac arrest.

"Saturday was the last time I visited him," she told CBS. "He looked very pale and his hands appeared red."
