U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week released a transgender woman from Honduras who had been in their custody for more than two years.
The TransLatin@ Coalition in a tweet said ICE released Kelly González Aguilar from the Aurora Contract Detention Center, a privately-run facility in suburban Denver, on July 14.
The tweet — which had pictures of González after her release — said she had been in ICE custody for 1,051 days. González had previously been detained at the privately-run Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico where ICE in 2017 opened a unit specifically for trans women in their custody.
