Transgender immigrant who died in ICE custody was beaten and deprived of medical attention, family says November 27, 2018 5:01 pm RL

She entered ICE custody on May 13 at the San Ysidro Port of Entry near San Diego, California, according to ICE. She was transferred to a privately run ICE detention facility, Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico on May 16 and housed in a unit for transgender detainees.
Nine days later, she died at Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque. The preliminary cause of death was identified as cardiac arrest, ICE said in a statement at the time.
But a private autopsy paid for by the Transgender Law Center, which is representing Hernandez’s family, suggests she most likely died from “severe complications of dehydration” on top of HIV infection. The report also found bruising on her body that suggests she was shackled tightly at the wrists and beaten on her back and abdomen, lawyers for her family said.
