A Transgender Woman Died After Being Held For Weeks In ICE Custody

A transgender woman from El Salvador who was held by US immigration authorities died Saturday, four days after she was released from custody and taken to a hospital.

“This is yet another unfortunate example of an alien who enters the United States with an untreated, unscreened medical condition,” said Corey Price, field office director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in El Paso. OJ Pitaya, an advocate with Diversidad Sin Fronteras, an LGBT human rights organization, said Medina waited nearly three months in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, for the opportunity to request asylum from the US at an official border crossing.

"Her dream was to come to the US to get certified and make a living healing people," Pitaya said in a Facebook post.

Alyssa_Milano I'm not reading this. It will just piss me off. The world is fucking OBSSESSSD with TRANSGENDER WOMEN them MEN it makes me sick! It's FUCKING OKAY FOR A GUY TO GO TRANSGENDER BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN GOING TO MEN? ITS ALL ABOUT GUYS TRANSGENDERING INTI WOMEN AND IT'S NOT RIGHT!

It is NOT our job/financial responsibility to know, pay for people that come here of their own FREE will, break our laws. We have LEGAL TAXPAYING Citizens that OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS should pay f/first of need be! Do U have any idea how deep in debt this country is? AMERICA 1st

Alyssa_Milano There are millions of immigrants crossing through and they have to be processed if you ppl continue to allow this invasion of illegals the blood is in you’re hands of the ones that die. You can’t expect everyone to be cared for when you don’t go and see what Bp deals with.

Alyssa_Milano

Alyssa_Milano That....is a fckn man........kinda. confusedMutants.

Alyssa_Milano Did anyone read the article? If you read to the end you will realize this person died of HIV/aids complications. They told no one of there medical conditions. As much as you want this to fit your narrative, blaming ice is intentionally deceptive. More fake news you're pushing

Alyssa_Milano May God Grant him eternal rest

Alyssa_Milano I was fat at one time but I choose to be thin so now I am Translender.

Transgender huh, wow that changes everything!!!

so an illegal alien man died

This is horrible, 😔. Violation of human rights.

Alyssa_Milano Nobody cares! Stop coming here illegally and it wouldn’t happen

Alyssa_Milano We finally have control over the AIDS epidemic and you want to bring disease ridden people into our country?

Alyssa_Milano Bullshit story

this_isnt news to me ! It was published may be 2 years ago!

Alyssa_Milano It would be nice if everybody read the entire article instead of just the headline and made assumptions. They died of complications of HIV/AIDS but nobody knew they had it. Can't treat them for a disease that nobody even knows they have.

Alyssa_Milano Reading the whole article, the people who died had AIDS. That should be a required test upon entering our country, but it is not. Had ICE known they had the disease when they entered asking for Asylum they would have been helped sooner. This is from withholding information.

Alyssa_Milano Death is more important than being a transgender

Alyssa_Milano

Alyssa_Milano I'm serious how could they tell did he/she have some defining physical characteristic that identified him/her as trans

Alyssa_Milano How could they tell Did he not fully transform

Alyssa_Milano OMG. An HIV positive got sick and died after being given prompt medical after she complained of chest pains.

Alyssa_Milano You assist Trump by exposing HIV infected immigrants. He definitely will win the next election I hope you know.

Alyssa_Milano So what? Probably did something to deserve it... there is always 2 sides to a story especially when your dealing with someone who is irrational and suffering from a serious mental disorder.

Fake.

NicoleAMaines When they say transgender woman does that means it was a man then became a female or vice versa?

Alyssa_Milano So a man died while being held in ICE custody for weeks?

Alyssa_Milano Fake news

Alyssa_Milano Oh yay! She developed chest pains, and was immediately remanded into medical care! She died while under medical care Or are you saying ICE should have been psychic, known she was gonna die, and given her a cut in the processing line?

Alyssa_Milano Or it could read. 'Illegal immigrant dies from tuberculosis'

Alyssa_Milano Perhaps it was from exhaustion after traveling so many miles to illegally enter the US.

Huh!?

Alyssa_Milano Im sure it is because ICE is now transphobic...is that your argument now Alyssa? Seems legit.

Alyssa_Milano 🤬

Zzzzzz

Alyssa_Milano Wow, did you care this much when this was happening under Obama's administration? I bet you couldn't give 2 shits, now and then.

Alyssa_Milano Ok.. what is ice?

Alyssa_Milano And

Alyssa_Milano They kill people in reg jail all the time

Alyssa_Milano Wow. She was a nurse and was probably trying to come here to be a nurse because her home country won't let trans be nurses. That's pretty tragic.

NicoleAMaines Humanity has less morals than us vampires do.

Alyssa_Milano Oh well..Soo sad...Too bad...Dont care

Alyssa_Milano He is a man... no such thing as transgender... if that be the case... why can I not be known as Aylssa Milano... we can be who we want... I'm coming to take your life!

NicoleAMaines America is the least free 'free state' in the world. You claim freedom and lock people in cages for trying to survive. Drive people into homelessness for medical bills. Shoot people in schools. Stop pretending you're the world heroes when shit like this happens in your territory.

NicoleAMaines My thoughts are with Johana and her family

Alyssa_Milano

NicoleAMaines Politicians from both sides want to do something. Get together and fix immigration laws.

NicoleAMaines How about these politicians stop doing committees for a week and fix the immigration proplem so people that are looking for asylum can get help. So they get the right care. Get more judges out there to hear these cases quicker. Make medical help more accessible. Fix immigration

NicoleAMaines This is unacceptable!!! Wtf 😡🤬

Alyssa_Milano That is ridiculous and unacceptable

Alyssa_Milano One word: Disgusting. This young life gone and all we have is bickering? We need to better

Nice headline. She complained of chest pain and was taken to the hospital. She died there 4 days later. She would've already been sick when she arrived at the border.

Alyssa_Milano Is nothing sacred to liberal assholes? Use a death that had nothing to do with where they were for political gain. ICE custody or at the Obama residence death was happening. Democrats are sick individuals

Alyssa_Milano Looks like a fem dude

Alyssa_Milano AbolishICE

Alyssa_Milano Correction: HELD IN MEXICAN CUSTODY FOR WEEKS

Grr trump needs to stop targeting transgenders!

Alyssa_Milano Article say she was taken to a hospital and released from ice custody? FAKENEWS

Alyssa_Milano She even tested positive for AIDS in ICE’s custody, and she was only there a month! What monsters

Alyssa_Milano Yes yes yes, no human has ever died before Trump had entered office. Since then he is totally responsible for every single death on the planet earth and all other problems that you can possibly think of. Gotta love the Democrats who can do nothing but blame everything on Trump.

Alyssa_Milano

Alyssa_Milano 2 genders OVERTHEWALL

I’m so sorry Johana. I’m crying for you and hope we can be a better country again.

What kind of animals does Trump have running ICE?

And i’m sure you’re going to blame it on ICE another propaganda Fake news why don’t you start talking about all the accomplishments are present has done how he has woken up the American spirit to be an American to stand strong keep the world strong don’t you see ,nope!

Alyssa_Milano Why she illegally trying to cross our border

Alyssa_Milano This has to stop 💔

Woman Quickly Cycles Through Non-Threatening Voice Inflections Before Expressing ConcernHOBOKEN, NJ—In a concerted effort to eliminate any possibility of perceived resentment or antagonism, local account manager Jessica Koerper reportedly cycled through a variety of non-threatening voice inflections in her head Friday before vocalizing a concern to her manager. “‘Why don’t we move this to next week?’—shoot, that’s too aggressive. ‘If we move this to next week, would that be okay?’—I guess that’s better,” Koerper reportedly thought to herself as she ran through more than a dozen combinations of intonations, vocal pitches, syntactical changes, and patterns of stressed words in order to avoid, as much as possible, giving her boss the impression that she’s actively working to undermine his authority and role within the company. “Maybe I’ll start off with the word ‘Hi,’ but that’s always tricky, because if it’s too casual he might think I don’t take his authority seriously, and if it’s too forceful he’ll think I’m being confrontational. I definitely don’t want to come off as incompetent, so maybe I’ll go into the stairwell real quick and practice saying some things out loud to iron out any pauses or hesitations.” At press time, sources reported that Koerper had been perceived as a bitch. is rarely funny, but often accurate. Okay, she can stay.
