""ICE took a month to give me my medication. Having my treatment abruptly taken away caused severe pain in my body as well as my mental health," she said."

Karla Saenz, a transgender immigrant, reported mistreatment in ICE custody at the Eloy Detention Center, including denial of hormone therapy and inadequate food. She experienced severe physical and mental pain due to the abrupt cessation of her medication. Saenz was arrested during a check-in, allegedly as retaliation for her advocacy for another detainee's release. A federal judge later ordered her release, citing the arbitrary nature of her arrest and the lack of evidence for the warrant presented by ICE officials.
