Mexican transwoman Victoria Arellano dies in immigration custody

Victoria Arellano, 23, died July 20 in the intensive care unit of a San Pedro, Calif., hospital. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials detained the undocumented immigrant in May after she entered the country for the second time.

At least 63 detainees, including Arellano and two others held in San Pedro, have died in ICE custody since 2004.
