A transgender woman who died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after being held in a privately operated detention center was likely physically abused there, according an autopsy report released Monday, and died after several days of severe, untreated dehydration.

Roxsana Hernndez Rodriguez, 33, a transgender woman from Honduras, died on May 25, nine days after being transferred to a dedicated unit for transgender women at the Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico, which is operated under contract by CoreCivic, the second-largest private prison company in the United States.

There she developed severe diarrhea and vomiting over the course of several days, wrote forensic pathologist Kris Sperry, and finally was emergently hospitalized, then transported to Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she remained critically ill until her death.

One day after arriving at Cibola, Ms. Hernndez Rodriguez was admitted to a local hospital, and was later transferred to Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, where she died while in intensive care.

The autopsy concluded that Hernndez Rodriguezs cause of death was most likely severe complications of dehydration superimposed upon HIV infection, which made her susceptible to the physiologic effects of untreated dehydration.

According to observations of other detainees who were with Ms. Hernndez Rodriguez, the diarrhea and vomiting episodes persisted over multiple days with no medical evaluation or treatment, until she was gravely ill, Sperry wrote.

Sperrys autopsy, the second conducted on Hernndez Rodriguezs body following her death, also found evidence of physical abuse, with deep bruising on her hands and abdomen, evidence of blunt-force trauma indicative of blows, and/or kicks, and possible strikes with blunt object. An accompanying diagram illustrated long, thin bruises along Hernndez Rodriguezs back and sides, as well as extensive hemorrhaging on Hernndez Rodriguezs right and left wrists, which Dr. Sperry found were typical of handcuff injuries.

Andrew Free, an attorney who is representing her family alongside the Transgender Law Center, told The Daily Beast that her treatment in ICE custody went far beyond neglectful.

She journeyed thousands of miles fleeing persecution and torture at home only to be met with neglect and torture in this countrys for-profit human cages, Free said.

An ICE spokesperson said the agency disputes the findings of the report.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot speak to the validity of the private autopsy cited by The Daily Beast; however, allegations that she was abused in ICE custody are false, said Danielle Bennett, a spokesperson for the agency. A review of Hernandezs death conducted by ICE Health Service Corps medical professionals confirmed that she suffered from a history of untreated HIV. At no time did the medical personnel treating Ms. Hernandez at Cibola General Hospital or Lovelace Medical Center raise any issues of suspected physical abuse.
...
Even before her detention in New Mexico, Hernndez Rodriguez had walked an extremely difficult path on her way to the United States. In an interview with Buzzfeed News a month before her death, Hernndez Rodriguez said she decided to flee Honduras after she was gang-raped by four members of the MS-13 gang, resulting in her being infected with HIV.

Trans people in my neighborhood are killed and chopped into pieces, then dumped inside potato bags, Hernndez Rodriguez said at the time. I didnt want to come to MexicoI wanted to stay in Honduras but I couldnt They kill trans people in Honduras. Im scared of that.

Plenty of conservatives would no doubt rejoice if they read this story, because she's both an immigrant and trans person who suffered for that.

I care that the law was broken....both by this border-hopper and the negligent, violent idiot(s) running the detention center. The hell can't people just do what the hell they're supposed to? Is it really that difficult?

Reminder that recently it came out that the government would not be holding ICE responsible for abuse and sex related crimes when it happens to whoever they grab and of course the lowest of the low are itching to join ICE because of the free pass to do whatever disgusting things they want to people and be treated as heroes for it.

What do you think happens to those people and kids who go missing when ICE grabs them?

Not in severity, but in the general concept. Too damn many people thinking "I don't care what I'm supposed to be doing, I'm going to do what I want"

Imagine being such a sheltered bootlicker that you can read this story and think that walking from one piece of land to another piece of land and getting physically abused (and later dying because of it) are the same thing in general concept.
