A glimpse into the magical and powerful #QT #AbolishIce Convening that happened this weekend. Honored to have been in the space with so many bad ass organizers, cultural workers, and artist. A big thank you to folks at @conmijente and @adelinaxcruzart who helped @culturestrike with some of the art making this Sunday which included the shirt, banner, and beautifully wing making. #TransLiberation #qtpoc #migrantrights #chingalamigra #JusticeforRoxsana

JUSTICE FOR ROXSANA WEEK OF ACTION

Roxsana Hernandez was a 33-year old transgender woman from Honduras who decided to come to the United States seeking a better future. She left Honduras because she didn’t feel safe, and threats had been made against her life.

After journeying through Guatemala and Mexico, and joining the migrant caravan, she turned herself in at the San Ysidro port of entry in San Diego on May 9, 2018 seeking asylum.

Buzzfeed interviewed her before she turned herself in at the border and is quoted as saying, "I didn't want to come to Mexico — I wanted to stay in Honduras but I couldn't. They kill trans people in Honduras. I'm scared of that." Once she was in ICE custody, she was put in a hielera, or “icebox.” On May 9, 2018, she was transferred to Cibola Detention Center in New Mexico. Even though she asked for medical care, she wasn’t given any. The following day she was taken by air ambulance to Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque. She was in the intensive care unit there until May 25 when she died.

Last year, FamiliaTQLM, the Transgender Law Center, the Law Office of Andrew R. Free, and Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project – BLMP filed a Notice of Wrongful Death Tort Claim in New Mexico, the first step in holding all parties responsible for Roxsana Hernandez’s death accountable.

This Week of Action is meant to honor Roxsana Hernandez’ life and to hold every person, and institution, that she came into contact with, accountable for her death given that with the proper care she would be with us today.

ICE continues to deny responsibility for her death but we won’t stop until we get #JusticeforRoxsana.

Follow @familiatqlm for ways to support this effort.

More than 100 Queer and Trans migrants and allies have taken over the intersection of Lomas and 4th in Downtown Albuquerque. Cibola Detention Center in New Mexico took the life of our sister Roxsana, and now we fight back. We demand an end to Trans migrant detention and deportation. We demand an end to all deportations. #abolishice #chingalamigra #justiceforroxsana #qtpoc #migrant #migration #gendernonconforming
