The Transgender Law Center (TLC) and other groups have filed a wrongful death claim on behalf of Roxsana Hernandez’s next of kin, the group announced Monday.

According to ICE, Hernández entered ICE custody May 13 in San Diego and was ultimately transferred to the transgender “pod” at Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico. Four days later, she was hospitalized with symptoms of pneumonia, dehydration and HIV complications. She died of cardiac arrest, according to ICE.
