The parents of an Orange County man who died of sepsis in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody is suing the operator and medical provider of a Mojave Desert detention center that houses detainees facing possible deportation. Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, of Westminster died on Sept. 22 at Victor Valley Global Medical Center in Victorville, a day after he was transferred there from the Adelanto ICE Processing Center and 37 days in custody. He had complained for weeks of pain in his abdominal and buttocks areas and treated with pain medication, according to the lawsuit filed on Dec. 31 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

The latest settlement includes about $2.3 million for Monk's 22-year-old daughter, along with $250,000 for his 18-year-old son.
