But an hour and a half later, medical staffers cleared Ayala-Uribe to go back to his dorm. He was not taken to hospital and scheduled for surgery for an abscess on his buttock until three days later. By 2:32 a.m. Monday morning, he was dead.

By Thursday, he was “shaking and complaining of pain in his rear,” and a staff member flagged his condition as potentially life-threatening, according to internal emails... obtained by The Times. He was rushed to a detention medical center in a wheelchair.
