are 30 to 40 pages long, so two of the attached ES are two pages. We really tried to shortened as much

Good morning AFODI

(b)(6); (b)(7)(C)

I

As you know, our office will be reviewing the death of detainee HERNANDEZ who was in ICE custody at

the Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC) from May 17 - May 25, 2018, and who died on May 25,
2018. I will be the Team Lead for the review.

Attached to this email is a request for information related to HERNANDEZ. We ask that your office
provide the requested information by June 8, 2018 via SharePoint (the link is below). Please let me
know who you would like to designate to upload and I will give them the appropriate permissions. If
you have any questions about the request, please let me know. After we review the documents, we'll
send a preliminary witness list of individuals we would like to interview during our onsite review.

I'll also be following up with a request for information from San Luis and El Paso Processing, where the
detainee was also held in custody before arrival at CCCC.

I'm a Team Lead with the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility and am in the process of conducting a
review of the death of detainee HERNANDEZ, Jeffry (A206418141). As part of our timeline, we include
all movements and activities related to the deceased detainee starting with when they enter ICE
custody. Although HERNANDEZ died while in the custody of ICE at Cibola, we have some gaps in
information surrounding HERNANDEZ's transport through El Paso. We would greatly appreciate if you
or a knowledgeable designee would be able to speak with us to try to help close the loop on these gaps.
Any insight you may be able to offer related to your operations and processes would be extremely
helpful.
Might you have some time this week for a short phone call?
Respectfully,

I've been trying to track down information on the detainee's movements prior to her admission to
Cibola as we'll need to cover it, to the extent we can, in our report. I spoke with the IHSC investigator
earlier this week, and have a call scheduled with the DFOD in San Diego this afternoon. I'm hoping he
can walk me through what happened with the detainee, at least generally, and identify a POC who can
provide more detailed information. That said, once I get a POC, I'd like you set up a telephone interview
with that person either Thursday or Friday this week ,J�)�?J, will participate in the interview with you so
that she ensure all the loops are closed in CC's report as well. Please plan to come into the office
tomorrow asU�JS?L�ill be here to drop off a laptop and is planning to touch base with you on the
outstanding questions. I won't be able to sit in on the interview because I'll be in training Thursday and
Friday, but you know far more about the case than I do anyway, so I'm sure you can handle it.
I'll be in touch this afternoon after I talk to the DFOD.
Thanks,

 Good morning,
We are tentatively scheduled to conduct the Hernandez DDR at the Cibola Correctional Facility
in Milan, NM, the week of June 25, 2018. I anticipate the travel days will be M-Th as the
detainee was only in custody a short time before going to the hospital. I'd like to request both a
medical and security SME to assist on the review. ,!�)J�)�, ill be the team lead.
ERO's summary of the detainee's history is below.
Thanks,

I

(b)(6),

ISSUE:
On May 25, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and
Removal Operations (ERO) El Paso reported the death of ICE detainee Jeffry
HERNANDEZ, A206 418 141, a 33-year-old citizen of Honduras, at the Lovelace
Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM. The medical staff pronounced HERNANDEZ dead
at 3 :32 a.m. MDT. Medical staff identified the preliminary cause of death as cardiac
arrest.
Consistent with ICE policy, ERO El Paso notified the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security Office oflnspector General and the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility
via the Joint Intake Center. ERO El Paso also notified the Consulate of Honduras in
Houston, TX, of HERNANDEZ' death. Honduran Consular officials have yet to locate
HERNANDEZ' next of kin for notification purposes.
All media inquiries will be referred to the ICE Office of Public Affairs.
BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 2005, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) arrested HERNANDEZ near Laredo, TX
shortly after her illegal entry into the United States. HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican
citizenship at the time of the arrest. USBP granted HERNANDEZ a voluntary return
(VR) to Mexico the same day.
On an unknown date and place, HERNANDEZ re-entered the United States without
being admitted or paroled by an immigration official.
On April 20, 2006, the Dallas County Criminal Court (DCCC) convicted HERNANDEZ
of theft and sentenced her to 30 days of incarceration. There is no indication ERO Dallas
encountered HERNANDEZ.
On April 25, 2009, the Dallas Police Department arrested HERNANDEZ on charges of
prostitution. On the same day, ERO Dallas encountered HERNANDEZ at the Dallas

2020-ICLl-00006 1514

 County Jail and lodged an Immigration Detainer- Notice of Action, Form 1-247, with the
facility. HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican citizenship at the time of the encounter.
On May 12, 2009, the DCCC convicted HERNANDEZ of lewd/immoral/indecent
conduct with a sentence of 30 days of incarceration, and prostitution with a sentence of
45 days of incarceration.
On May 14, 2009, the DCCC transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO Dallas custody. On the
same day ERO Dallas granted HERNANDEZ a VR to Mexico.
On January 23, 2014, USBP arrested HERNANDEZ in Laredo, TX. HERNANDEZ
claimed Mexican citizenship at the time of the arrest. USBP served HERNANDEZ a
Notice and Order of Expedited Removal, Form 1-860, charging removability pursuant to
§ 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, as an
immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border
crossing card, or other valid entry document required by the INA. USBP referred
HERNANDEZ' case for prosecution.
On January 27, 2014, the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas,
convicted HERNANDEZ of illegal entry and sentenced her to 45 days of incarceration.
On March 7, 2014, the Federal Detention Center at Houston, TX released HERNANDEZ
to ERO Houston custody. On March 11, 2014, ERO Houston subsequently removed
HERNANDEZ to Mexico via Laredo, TX.
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ applied for admission into the United States at the San
Ysidro Port of Entry claiming to be from Honduras. U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(USCBP) served her a Notice and Order of Expedited Removal, Form I-860, charging
removability pursuant to § 212( a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the INA, as amended, as an immigrant
not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry pe1mit, border crossing
card, or other valid entry document required by the INA.
On May 13, 2018, USCBP transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO San Diego custody at the
San Luis Regional Detention Center.
On May 15, 2018, ERO San Diego transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO El Paso at the El
Paso Processing Center.
On May 16, 2018, ERO El Paso transferred HERNANDEZ to the Cibola County
Correctional Center (CCCC) in Milan, NM, where she was housed in the Transgender

2020-ICLl-00006 1516

 At approximately 3:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel performed a thoracentesis because
HERNANDEZ was experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Medical
personnel removed approximately 700cc of fluid from one side of her chest and 900cc of
fluid from the other side.
At approximately 4:00 p.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ' oxygen saturation started falling and
she developed worsening tachypnea, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and elevated
blood pressure.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel intubated and sedated
HERNANDEZ, placed her on a ventilator and placed a central line.

electrical activity (PEA) and medical personnel immediately began CPR. HERNANDEZ
received multiple doses of epinephrine.
At approximately 10:16 p.m. MDT, medical personnel resuscitated HERNANDEZ.
HERNANDEZ then went into SVT, medical personnel administered first Adenosine,
which was not effective, and then Metoprolol, which lowered her blood pressure.
On May 25, 2018, between approximately 12:15 a.m. MDT and 1:07 a.m. MDT,
HERNANDEZ went into cardiac arrest several times.
At 1:30 a.m. MDT, Lovelace Nurses called Cibola stating HERNANDEZ' heart was
arresting every 5 minutes and she had minimal brain function.

Good morning AFOq

(b)(6); (b)(7l(CJ

I'm a Team Lead with the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility and am in the process of conducting a
review of the death of detainee HERNANDEZ, Jeffry (A206418141). As part of our timeline, we include
all movements and activities related to the deceased detainee starting with when they enter ICE

custody. Although HERNANDEZ died while in the custody of ICE at Cibola, we have some gaps in
information surrounding HERNANDEZ's transport through El Paso. We would greatly appreciate if you
or a knowledgeable designee would be able to speak with us to try to help close the loop on these gaps.
Any insight you may be able to offer related to your operations and processes would be extremely
helpful.
Might you have some time this week for a short phone call?

Cibola.

OK. So I thought I had enough to wrap up the HERNANDEZ revision after putting,��);�)� to bed and
(b)J6)'. Ruestions. We have definitely cleaned up the early part of the timeline before she
answering
arrived at CCCC, but the later part is loose. We have:

I .

5/9
5/11

5/12

5/13

HERNANDEZ requested asylum at San Ysidro
HERNANDEZ processed by CBP, including medical screening by a CBP officer resulting in

examination by a physician and referral to the hospital for TB clearance. Detainee HIV positive;
negative for TB; positive for bronchitis. Cough and fever noted; medications recommended.
Documentation of physician examination, hospital findings, and medications apparently not
provided to ERO upon transfer of custody.
ERO San Diego requested bed space at Cibola; approved later the same day.
Air transport to El Paso on 5/15 requested.

2020-ICLl-00006

1538

 5/14

Air transport on 5/15 approved. Detainee picked up at San Ysidro by SLRDC at noon; arrived

SLRDC 6:00 p.m.
5/15
Detainee taken from SLRDC to Meza airport for flight to El Paso at 12:01 a.m.

After that, we know she arrived at EPC but don't know when or for how long she was there before
transported to Cibola. EADM documents transfer to ERO El Paso and that she was "booked" into EPC at
3:15 p.m. on 5/15, but we have learned that EADM entries are imprecise. SO, because she did not arrive
at CCCC until around 8:00 p.m. on 5/16, we may need to get a bit more detail. Without it, we have a
40+ hour gap that may well be explained by time in the air, transport and brief holding at EPC for an
unknown time, and bus trip to Cibola. If you don't think closing the gap is necessary, I will certainly go
with the flow since technically, the scope of our analysis is Cibola. But I'm thinking it would be fair to
ERO to provide more detail as to her movements post SLRDC than we now have. Otherwise, we have a
woman who arrived at Cibola after 56 hours in transit with a fever, cough, dehydrated and in a state of

starvation. ERO El Paso may at least be able to provide more detail as to her journey from flight to
arrival at Cibola.

Note I (b)( 5); �ndl,S?)S?).i_,lare copied on this since both are aware of pre-Cibola issues. l,£�!i�!ds copied
too, as COR. To all of you, if you want me to back off all pre-Cibola issues since HERNANDEZ was not
admitted to ICE detention before she arrived, I will modify the report accordingly.
Let me know your druthers.

I agree that this information answers the SLRDC question, and I do like your idea of confirming your
interpretation in a return email to AFODI Cbl(6l; I As discussed on the phone just now, I suggest you ask

him if he was told what happened with the detainee during the six hours she was at SLRDC. Our specific
interest is in knowing whether she was medically screened, but it would be good to know if she was
moved off the bus at all given the short turnaround. I'm guessing she was not medically screened, but
since he told us yesterday that SLRDC does screen short-termers, it's worth asking the question. And, I

2020-ICLl-00006 1540

 would ask if he confirmed that as he speculated yesterday, transport officers from San Luis picked
HERNANDEZ up at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Also as discussed, I believe speaking with AFO

,��}!�}�, s wise.

The EADM documentation makes it

look like HERNANDEZ entered ERO custody about 32 hours before we now know she got to SLRDC.
Based on what Mr.I {b){6); !told us yesterday, that was likely not the case. Sounds like Mq01bli6t p,1ay
be able to help us understand the process and hopefully, narrow down when the detainee physically
entered ICE custody. Then on to El Paso. Hopefully, we will unearth more info that helps up
determine if medical screening after ERO took custody and before the detainee arrived at Cibola should
have happened and if not, why not.
I will await further word.

I think this is incredibly helpful. I've followed up with him to confirm the following, but I read this to say:
HERNANDEZ physically arrived at SLDC at 1800 hrs on 5/14/2018, and was released from SLDC (bound
for El Paso) at 0001 hours on 5/15/2018, for a total of 6 hours physically held in SLDC. I believe ICE staff
in previous communications mentioned this six hours, but it wasn't clear to us at that time where that
number came from. We can use this in the timeline (let's not use EARM).
Let me know your thoughts,

As you may know, I am a Team Lead at the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility and am in the
process of conducting a review of the death of detainee HERNANDEZ, Jeffry (A206418141). As part of
our timeline, we include all movements and activities related to the deceased detainee starting with
when they enter ICE custody. Although HERNANDEZ died while in the custody of ICE at Cibola, we have
some gaps in information starting with San Luis. We would greatly appreciate if you would be able to
speak with me and my team members to try to help close the loop on these outstanding questions.

I just sent you the IHSC preliminary report for this death. It appears San Luis may have more issues than
Cibola, so please be sure to get a data request out to them ...and we should probably send one to El Paso
Processing Center as well, just to cover our bases. I think we'll see what the medical records look like
and then make a decision re whether we need to go to either San Luis or El Paso for interviews.
Thanks!

As promised here is the document request for the two other facilities where detainee HERNANDEZ was

below, or can you point me to the best POC to help with this request?
From San Luis Regional Detention Center:
• Detainee's detention file
•

•

•

•

Detainee's complete medical file

Any sick call requests or grievances filed by detainee
Housing assignment record

Facility medical policies and procedures

From El Paso SPC:
• Detainee's detention file
• Detainee's complete medical file
•

•

•

Any sick call requests or grievances filed by detainee
Housing assignment record

Facility medical policies and procedures

These can also be uploaded to our SharePoint site HERE. I've created sub folders for each
facility.
Again, I'll just need the names of people uploading so I can grant them permission to the folder.
Thanks so much,

I don't know if the list was ever sent to you so I have attached it to this email.
In addition to the items on the list, I will also need:

The San Luis Regional Detention Center detention file,
The El Paso Processing Center detention file, and

The security logbook entries by the transport staff at CCCC and those while she was at both hospitals.
My supervisor can set up a Share Point folder that all this information can be downloaded into or you

Sir,
Good afternoon, Yes, Ms. Hernandez was actually housed at San Luis Regional Detention Center:
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ applied for admission into the United States at the San Ysidro Port of Entry
claiming to be from Honduras. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) served her a Notice and
Order of Expedited Removal, Form 1-860, charging removability pursuant to § 212{a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the

2020-ICLl-00006 1558

 INA, as amended, as an immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit,
border crossing card, or other valid entry document required by the INA.

On May 13, 2018, USCBP transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO San Diego custody at the San Luis Regional
Detention Center.
On May 15,

Center.

2018,

ERO San Diego transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO El Paso at the El Paso Processing

On May 16, 2018, ERO El Paso transferred HERNANDEZ to the Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC)
in Milan, NM, where she was housed in the Transgender Unit to await her asylum interview.
We are aware that the facility's medical department is unable to locate a medical record for her. Our
IHSC Field Medical CoordinatorJ(b)(6); (b)(7)(C)
lhas been in contact with them making the request per
your request. I have copied him on this message.

Good afternoon Sir,
Can you confirm for me that Ms. HERNANDEZ was actually housed at San Luis Regional Detention

Center?
In EADM, on the Detention Details page for 5/13/18, under Book In Comment, an officer noted, "Booked
in for manifest purpose; Actual transfer date is on 05/14/2018."
The facility's medical department is unable to locate a medical record for her.
Thank you,
I

Finally heard some news. The autopsy report is still pending. IHSC reached out and was informed that
they were awaiting information from the CDC. Once it's received, it should be finalized shortly

Good afternoon,
Update on autopsy findings for Roy Alexander Hernandez Rodriguez. (Death that occurred at Cibola).
Pe�

,��)!�L

!Chief Pathologist, the below:

For Media: autopsy is pending due to it being a medically complex case
Not for Media (for internal knowledge only): Currently, findings show death is related to complications
from HIV. The pathologist was unable to identify the lung infection, so he contacting the CDC for further
investigation. The subject has also been found with Multicentric Castleman's Disease -- an abnormal
overgrowth of cells of the lymph system that is similar in many ways to lymphomas (cancers of lymph
nodes).

Subject: PREA Audit Notification - Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC)

Good afternoon Acting FOO 1 ��)J�)�,
Beginning in fiscal year 2017, OPR's External Reviews and Analysis Unit (ERAU) began managing the
contractor audits of all eligible ICE facilities for compliance with the OHS PREA Standards (6 C.F.R Part
115). Per the DHS PREA Standards, ICE is required to ensure that each of its detention and overnight
holding facilities that have adopted the DHS PREA Standards is audited at least once, by an outside
entity, within three years of adopting OHS PREA.

In order to help ensure facilities and field offices are adequately prepared for the upcoming PREA audits,
ERAU staff will be conducting pre-audits approximately four weeks in advance of each scheduled PREA
audit. During the pre-audit, we will review relevant policies and procedures, interview staff members
regarding their duties and responsibilities, assess the facility's overall compliance with PREA, and

provide feedback on areas where the facility can better demonstrate compliance. The Cibola County
Correctional Center (CCCC) has been scheduled for a pre-audit review from November 6-8, 2018. The
OHS PREA Audit has been scheduled from December 4-6, 2018. Please note that an ERAU team lead will
accompany the contract auditor to your facility for the duration of the audit.
We ask that you confirm concurrence with both the pre-audit and PREA audit dates by September 25,
2018, and provide a preferred point of contact (POC) with whom we should coordinate throughout this
process. Upon confirmation of the dates, we will provide your POC with additional information on the
PREA audit process, a package of pre-audit materials to complete, and details on both pre-audit and
audit logistics. ERAU's designated team lead for the CCCC PREA audit isl

(b)(6); (b)(7)(C)

Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this process. It is our goal to make both the pre-audit
and PREA audit as seamless as possible for both ERO and CCCC.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me orl

Subject: Preliminary Autopsy Findings
Good afternoon,
The chief pathologist from the Albuquerque Medical Investigations Office called me with the preliminary
findings of Mr. Hernandez Rodriguez autopsy (Death while in custody- Cibola)
Finding consistent with someone who is HIV and not receiving treatment, and consistent with the earlier
CT body scan and external examination
Lungs were heavy and solid; probable infection; pending microscopic examination; exam may show
pneumocystis pneumonia associated with HIV
Spleen and chest lymph nodes were enlarged; microscopic exam pending
Small shallow ulcer in esophagus; microscopic exam pending; maybe caused by herpes which is seen in
HIV detainees
Detainee had large amount of diarrhea and sections of the intestine are pending microscopic exam;
stool send for culture
The brain was maintained intact for further study
There were no signs of abuse or injury.
Body will be released to outside MD for a 2 nd autopsy arranged by the detainee's attorney. (Once ICE
approves it)
Please contact me if there are any questions.

Subject: FW: Hernandez - Prelim Mortality Review
Good morning!
Attached is IHSC's preliminary summary.
and I have discussed the obvious
concerns about the detainee's length of stay in Border Patrol custody (longer than
either detention facility) and what San Luis Regional Detention Center may or may not
have done with respect to her care. ,��}J�}�, RAU is pursuing the San Luis medical record
and once received, would like you to review it. (Billable, of course.) Based on your
review, a determination will be made as to whether a site visit is called for. If you recall
from the ,��/��/�, case, we weren't exactly wowed by medical services at San Luis.
Although classified as an over 72 hour facility, they were operating as an under 72. As
for Border Patrol, they aren't under ICE jurisdiction so ......... Our guess is that Border
Patrol is having to hold aliens longer than they would like because of ICE's bed space
(b)(6); (b)(?)(CJ
shortage. Not a good situation. I
It is possible that Border Patrol took

Hernandez to the hospital and provided any records to San Luis. If that happened, the
records did not make it to Cibola.

ERO's summary of the detainee's history is below.
Thanks,

fh\17\lr,

ISSUE:
On May 25, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and
Removal Operations (ERO) El Paso reported the death of ICE detainee Jeffry
HERNANDEZ, A206 418 141, a 33-year-old citizen of Honduras, at the Lovelace
Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM. The medical staff pronounced HERNANDEZ dead
at 3 :32 a.m. MDT. Medical staff identified the preliminary cause of death as cardiac
arrest.
Consistent with ICE policy, ERO El Paso notified the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security Office oflnspector General and the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility
via the Joint Intake Center. ERO El Paso also notified the Consulate of Honduras in
Houston, TX, of HERNANDEZ' death. Honduran Consular officials have yet to locate
HERNANDEZ' next of kin for notification purposes.
All media inquiries will be referred to the ICE Office of Public Affairs.
BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 2005, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) arrested HERNANDEZ near Laredo, TX
shortly after her illegal entry into the United States. HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican
citizenship at the time of the arrest. USBP granted HERNANDEZ a voluntary return
(VR) to Mexico the same day.

2020-ICLl-00006 1587

 On an unknown date and place, HERNANDEZ re-entered the United States without
being admitted or paroled by an immigration official.
On April 20, 2006, the Dallas County Criminal Court (DCCC) convicted HERNANDEZ
of theft and sentenced her to 30 days of incarceration. There is no indication ERO Dallas
encountered HERNANDEZ.
On April 25, 2009, the Dallas Police Department arrested HERNANDEZ on charges of
prostitution. On the same day, ERO Dallas encountered HERNANDEZ at the Dallas
County Jail and lodged an Immigration Detainer- Notice of Action, Form I-247, with the
facility. HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican citizenship at the time of the encounter.
On May 12, 2009, the DCCC convicted HERNANDEZ of lewd/immoral/indecent
conduct with a sentence of 30 days of incarceration, and prostitution with a sentence of
45 days of incarceration.
On May 14, 2009, the DCCC transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO Dallas custody. On the
same day ERO Dallas granted HERNANDEZ a VR to Mexico.
On January 23, 2014, USBP arrested HERNANDEZ in Laredo, TX. HERNANDEZ
claimed Mexican citizenship at the time of the arrest. USBP served HERNANDEZ a
Notice and Order of Expedited Removal, Form I-860, charging removability pursuant to
§ 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, as an
immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border
crossing card, or other valid entry document required by the INA. USBP referred
HERNANDEZ' case for prosecution.
On January 27, 2014, the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas,
convicted HERNANDEZ of illegal entry and sentenced her to 45 days of incarceration.
On March 7, 2014, the Federal Detention Center at Houston, TX released HERNANDEZ
to ERO Houston custody. On March 11, 2014, ERO Houston subsequently removed
HERNANDEZ to Mexico via Laredo, TX.
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ applied for admission into the United States at the San
Ysidro Port of Entry claiming to be from Honduras. U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(USCBP) served her a Notice and Order of Expedited Removal, Form I-860, charging
removability pursuant to § 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the INA, as amended, as an immigrant
not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing
card, or other valid entry document required by the INA.
On May 13, 2018, USCBP transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO San Diego custody at the
San Luis Regional Detention Center.
On May 15, 2018, ERO San Diego transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO El Paso at the El
Paso Processing Center.

2020-ICLl-00006 1588

 On May 16, 2018, ERO El Paso transferred HERNANDEZ to the Cibola County
Correctional Center (CCCC) in Milan, NM, where she was housed in the Transgender
Unit to await her asylum interview.
On May 17, 2018, at 7:35 a.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ underwent a medical screening.
The results of the screening showed fever, weight loss, low blood pressure, and cough.
At approximately 9:20 a.m. MDT, Correct Care Solutions (CCS) at the CCCC notified
ERO El Paso that the medical unit was evaluating HERNANDEZ for fever with a cough.
At approximately 10:18 a.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ

and complications associated with HIV infection. Core Civic transportation personnel
transported HERNANDEZ to Cibola General Hospital via van.
At approximately 4:26 p.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ was in
stable condition at the Cibola General Hospital pending lab work with conditions of
hypotension and possible sepsis.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ would
be transferred and admitted to Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM via air
ambulance.

On May 18, 2018, ERO El Paso notified the Honduran Consulate of HERNANDEZ'
hospitalization and condition telephonicaUy and via e-mail.
On May 18, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that medical staff placed HERNANDEZ in
a negative pressure room within the intensive care unit (ICU) to rule out tuberculosis and
that she was pending an abdominal CT scan.
On May 19, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU
isolation with the CT scan results indicating an enlarged spleen and peritoneal lymph
nodes. The physician's concern was possible T-Cell Lymphoma.
On May 20, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU
isolation and no longer required medication to elevate her blood pressure.
On May 21, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ had an axillary lymph
node removed for biopsy and was stable in recovery.
On May 22, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU and
was prescribed oral antibiotics.

2020-ICLl-00006 1589

 On May 23, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU
while taking antibiotics and pending the results of the lymph node biopsy.
On May 24, 2018, at approximately 11 :00 a.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that
HERNANDEZ remained in critical condition within ICU and was taking inh·avenous
blood pressure medication and antibiotics. HERNANDEZ was still pending the results of
the lymph node biopsy.
At approximately 3:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel performed a thoracentesis because
HERNANDEZ was experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Medical
personnel removed approximately 700cc of fluid from one side of her chest and 900cc of
fluid from the other side.
At approximately 4:00 p.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ' oxygen saturation started falling and
she developed worsening tachypnea, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and elevated
blood pressure.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel intubated and sedated
HERNANDEZ, placed her on a ventilator and placed a central line.
At approximately 10:10 p.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ went into bradycardia and pulseless
electrical activity (PEA) and medical personnel immediately began CPR. HERNANDEZ
received multiple doses of epinephrine.
At approximately 10:16 p.m. MDT, medical personnel resuscitated HERNANDEZ.
HERNANDEZ then went into SVT, medical personnel administered first Adenosine,
which was not effective, and then Metoprolol, which lowered her blood pressure.
On May 25, 2018, between approximately 12:15 a.m. MDT and 1:07 a.m. MDT,
HERNANDEZ went into cardiac aITest several times.
At 1:30 a.m. MDT, Lovelace Nurses called Cibola stating HERNANDEZ' heart was
arresting every 5 minutes and she had minimal brain function.
At 3:32 a.m. MDT, two physicians at Lovelace Medical Center pronounced
HERNANDEZ deceased. The suspected cause of death is cardiac arrest due to possible
complications from pneumonia.
At 3:44 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso notified ERO Headquarters of HERNANDEZ' death.
At 4:47 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso telephonically notified the Joint Intake Center and the
Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) duty agent of HERNANDEZ' death.
At 5:34 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso emailed notification to the OPR duty agent as
requested.

2020-ICLl-00006 1590

 At approximately 7:35 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso notified the Consulate of Honduras of
HERNANDEZ' death.
HERNANDEZ is the sixth detainee to pass away in ICE custody in fiscal year 2018.

Hello,
nd I interviewed various and sundry ERO personnel to try to make
sense of what happened during HERNANDEZ's transit to Cibola. I didn't
involve either of you because I did not anticipate information would be
revealed requiring your expertise. Sadly, I was right. The detainee was
never referred to, or seen by, a medical professional after her custody was
transferred to ERO. The bottom line is that once CBP notified ERO they
needed to assume custody of transgender aliens, ERO set the wheels in
motion to get HERNANDEZ and the others to Cibola. As the revision
reflects, there were many legs to what we narrowed down to have been a
56 hour journey after ERO assumed custody, including what turns out to
have been just a 6 hour stay at San Luis and an 18 hour stay at El Paso SPC.

2020-ICLl-00006 1593

 They were just "rest areas" along the road, so to speak. The remainder of
the time was spent in transit. At no point (apparently) did she report, nor
did officers observe, anything of concern warranting medical assessment.
I changed nothing in the narrative pertaining to Cibola already submitted.
Based on the interviews with ERO personnel, I did make corrections to the
pre-Cibola information and in the opening, added myself as a post- site visit
interviewer. I also amended the Synopsis and the Medical Conclusions and
Area of Note sections related to the detainee's journey pre-Cibola. As
always, I avoided pronouncements, but tried to make the point that the
detainee was sick while with CBP, sick when ERO assumed custody, and
sicker when she arrived at Cibola. You will see I also again discussed the
potential exposure risks to other detainees and officers/staff with whom
she came in contact.
Very interesting case.

Thank you both for your contributions.

Hello!

��li%

Here is the draft HERNANDEZ report. 1
i you are used to fielding questions in stages
but this draft should be
ready. I think my questions will be easily
(bJ(6J ;(bl(7J (C)
answered. By way of background, I shared with ,��};�}�, our impression that the issues lie
pre-Cibola. She confirmed both San Luis and El Paso SPC have no documentation, so it
is what it is. She did, however, provide the referenced EADM documentation specifying
times the detainee's custody was transferred. She also said that her IHSC contact said
some sort of medical screening should have taken place once ERO took custody. She
advises that we should go ahead and submit the report absent confirmation/clarification
of that and if ERAU develops further information, we can submit a revision later.
������; footnoting is a new thing since your last DDR ©. I

(b)(5)

(b)(5)

You will note, also, that everything we include in our report now needs to be specifically
ascribed so a few questions are geared in that direction.
Please get back to me when you can. I know you have lives, including celebrating ,!�)J�J,
i isit to Madison, but my contractual deadline is COB Friday. I'm hoping that
doesn't give you heartburn, especially since I don't think my questions are heavy lifts. If
not possible to get back to me before then, let me know and I'll work it out.

Perhaps we might follow up with San Luis. EARM shows HERNANDEZ was booked into San Luis at
approximately 11:18am on May 13, 2018, not 6:00 pm on May 14, 2018. By those numbers,
HERNANDEZ would have been held for closer to 36 hours, as opposed to the 6 hours cited by the intake

security officer.

RE: Hernandez DDR scheduling

Oh! Then I misunderstood ,�?)��)�, se of the word "tentatively." I figured she was saying the plan is
tentative until the field confirms that week will work, but I guess I was being overly analytical. That's a
chronic problem for me. ©

Subject: Hernandez DDR scheduling
Good morning,
We are tentatively scheduled to conduct the Hernandez DDR at the Cibola Correctional Facility in Milan,
NM, the week of June 25, 2018. I anticipate the travel days will be M-Th as the detainee was only in
custody a short time before going to the hospital. I'd like to request both a medical and security SME to
assist on the review. (bJ(6J; ill be the team lead.
/h)/7)/C:

ERO's summary of the detainee's history is below.
Thanks,

I ,�?}S�L I
ISSUE:
On May 25, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal
Operations (ERO) El Paso reported the death of ICE detainee Jeffry HERNANDEZ, A206 418
141, a 33-year-old citizen of Honduras, at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM.
The medical staff pronounced HERNANDEZ dead at 3:32 a.m. MDT. Medical staff identified
the preliminary cause of death as cardiac arrest.
Consistent with ICE policy, ERO El Paso notified the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Office of Inspector General and the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility via the Joint
Intake Center. ERO El Paso also notified the Consulate of Honduras in Houston, TX, of
HERNANDEZ' death. Honduran Consular officials have yet to locate HERNANDEZ' next of
kin for notification purposes.
All media inquiries will be referred to the ICE Office of Public Affairs.
BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 2005, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) aITested HERNANDEZ near Laredo, TX shortly
after her illegal entry into the United States. HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican citizenship at the
time of the arrest. USBP granted HERNANDEZ a voluntary return (VR) to Mexico the same
day.
On an unknown date and place, HERNANDEZ re-entered the United States without being
admitted or paroled by an immigration official.

2020-ICLl-00006 1626

 On April 20, 2006, the Dallas County Criminal Court (DCCC) convicted HERNANDEZ of theft
and sentenced her to 30 days of incarceration. There is no indication ERO Dallas encountered
HERNANDEZ.
On April 25, 2009, the Dallas Police Department arrested HERNANDEZ on charges of
prostitution. On the same day, ERO Dallas encountered HERNANDEZ at the Dallas County Jail
and lodged an Immigration Detainer- Notice of Action, Form 1-247, with the facility.
HERNANDEZ claimed Mexican citizenship at the time of the encounter.
On May 12, 2009, the DCCC convicted HERNANDEZ of lewd/immoral/indecent conduct with a
sentence of 30 days of incarceration, and prostitution with a sentence of 45 days of incarceration.
On May 14, 2009, the DCCC transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO Dallas custody. On the same
day ERO Dallas granted HERNANDEZ a VR to Mexico.
On January 23, 2014, USBP arrested HERNANDEZ in Laredo, TX. HERNANDEZ claimed
Mexican citizenship at the time of the arrest. USBP served HERNANDEZ a Notice and Order of
Expedited Removal, Form 1-860, charging removability pursuant to§ 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, as an immigrant not in possession of a
valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing card, or other valid entry
document required by the INA. USBP referred HERNANDEZ' case for prosecution.
On January 27, 2014, the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, convicted
HERNANDEZ of illegal entry and sentenced her to 45 days of incarceration.
On March 7, 2014, the Federal Detention Center at Houston, TX released HERNANDEZ to
ERO Houston custody. On March 11, 2014, ERO Houston subsequently removed
HERNANDEZ to Mexico via Laredo, TX.
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ applied for admission into the United States at the San Ysidro
Port of Entry claiming to be from Honduras. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP)
served her a Notice and Order of Expedited Removal, Form 1-860, charging removability
pursuant to§ 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the INA, as amended, as an immigrant not in possession of a
valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing card, or other valid entry
document required by the INA.
On May 13, 2018, USCBP transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO San Diego custody at the San Luis
Regional Detention Center.
On May 15, 2018, ERO San Diego transferred HERNANDEZ to ERO El Paso at the El Paso
Processing Center.
On May 16, 2018, ERO El Paso transferred HERNANDEZ to the Cibola County Correctional
Center (CCCC) in Milan, NM, where she was housed in the Transgender Unit to await her
asylum interview.

2020-ICLl-00006 1627

 On May 17, 2018, at 7:35 a.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ underwent a medical screening. The results
of the screening showed fever, weight loss, low blood pressure, and cough.
At approximately 9:20 a.m. MDT, Conect Care Solutions (CCS) at the CCCC notified ERO El
Paso that the medical unit was evaluating HERNANDEZ for fever with a cough.
At approximately 10: 18 a.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ required
evaluation at the Cibola General Hospital to rule out pneumonia, dehydration and complications
associated with HIV infection. Core Civic transportation personnel transported HERNANDEZ
to Cibola General Hospital via van.
At approximately 4:26 p.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ was in stable
condition at the Cibola General Hospital pending lab work with conditions of hypotension and
possible sepsis.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ would be
transferred and admitted to Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM via air ambulance.
At approximately 8:37 p.m. MDT, ERO El Paso generated and uploaded a Significant Incident
(b)(7)(E)
regarding the hospital admission.
Report

I

I

On May 18, 2018, ERO El Paso notified the Honduran Consulate of HERNANDEZ'
hospitalization and condition telephonically and via e-mail.
On May 18, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that medical staff placed HERNANDEZ in a
negative pressure room within the intensive care unit (ICU) to rule out tuberculosis and that she
was pending an abdominal CT scan.
On May 19, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU isolation
with the CT scan results indicating an enlarged spleen and peritoneal lymph nodes. The
physician's concern was possible T-Cell Lymphoma.
On May 20, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU isolation
and no longer required medication to elevate her blood pressure.
On May 21, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ had an axillary lymph node
removed for biopsy and was stable in recovery.
On May 22, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU and was
prescribed oral antibiotics.
On May 23, 2018, CCS notified ERO El Paso that HERNANDEZ continued in ICU while taking
antibiotics and pending the results of the lymph node biopsy.
On May 24, 2018, at approximately 11 :00 a.m. MDT, CCS notified ERO El Paso that
HERNANDEZ remained in critical condition within ICU and was taking intravenous blood

2020-ICLl-00006 1628

 pressure medication and antibiotics. HERNANDEZ was still pending the results of the lymph
node biopsy.
At approximately 3:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel performed a thoracentesis because
HERNANDEZ was experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Medical personnel
removed approximately 700cc of fluid from one side of her chest and 900cc of fluid from the
other side.
At approximately 4:00 p.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ' oxygen saturation started falling and she
developed worsening tachypnea, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and elevated blood
pressure.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. MDT, medical personnel intubated and sedated HERNANDEZ,
placed her on a ventilator and placed a central line.
At approximately 10:10 p.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ went into bradycardia and pulseless
electrical activity (PEA) and medical personnel immediately began CPR. HERNANDEZ
received multiple doses of epinephrine.
At approximately 10:16 p.m. MDT, medical personnel resuscitated HERNANDEZ.
HERNANDEZ then went into SVT, medical personnel administered first Adenosine, which was
not effective, and then Metoprolol, which lowered her blood pressure.
On May 25, 2018, between approximately 12:15 a.m. MDT and 1:07 a.m. MDT, HERNANDEZ
went into cardiac arrest several times.
At 1:30 a.m. MDT, Lovelace Nurses called Cibola stating HERNANDEZ' hea1t was arresting
every 5 minutes and she had minimal brain function.
At 3:32 a.m. MDT, two physicians at Lovelace Medical Center pronounced HERNANDEZ
deceased. The suspected cause of death is cardiac arrest due to possible complications from
pneumoma.
At 3:44 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso notified ERO Headquarters of HERNANDEZ' death.
At 4:47 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso telephonically notified the Joint Intake Center and the Office of
Professional Responsibility (OPR) duty agent of HERNANDEZ' death.
At 5:34 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso emailed notification to the OPR duty agent as requested.
At approximately 7:35 a.m. MDT, ERO El Paso notified the Consulate of Honduras of
HERNANDEZ' death.
HERNANDEZ is the sixth detainee to pass away in ICE custody in fiscal year 2018.

Thanks! I know we use the female pronoun in the report, but still only call her Jeffrey so it looks odd. I
also just saw in the news that the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) FOIA'd the report so it would probably
be a point of contention for them as well.
It's going okay. This auditor doesn't seem to be picking up on many of the things we saw in our pre-audit
so I've been re-directing her when appropriate, and in the form of questions, if there's something she
needed to review but didn't.
She is documenting the number of tables and things like that in each unit and rec yard, which I find quite
irrelevant. b)(7)(E)
(b)(7)(E)
We stayed until 8:30
pm last night until I said we need to be respectful of facility staff's time and got back to the hotel a little
past 10. The only concern she noted after the tour out-brief was the sexual assault posters being posted
in areas that aren't required by the regulation (which, in my understanding, states it has to be posted in
housing units and goes no further). She's very nice but won't stop talking about her qualifications and
pretends like she knows everything; I would love to see ,��}J�J, go out with her ha. This was her first ICE
audit but around her 75th PREA audit (according to her) so I'm sure she's just adjusting but she's kind of
rubbing everyone the wrong way, even through her smile. I'm looking forward to reading the report,
that's for sure.
Do I need to send the comp time approval request to you Friday or how would you like me to handle

I know I had nothing to do with this DDR and it's with the front office for review but I noticed nowhere
in the report did it mention Ms. Hernandez's preferred name. Out of respect for Ms. Hernandez, do you
think the front office would allow the opening Synopsis to read, "On May 25, 2018, Jeffry Hernandez
Rodriguez, also known as Roxsana..."
Thanks for the consideration. Hope you're having a great week!

Executive Summary
Jeffry (Roxsana) HERNANDEZ - Albuquerque, New Mexico
Death of a Detainee in ICE Custody - JICMSI (b)(7)(E) I
Summary:
On May 25, 2018, Jeffry HERNANDEZ, a 33-year-old citizen of Honduras, died while in the custody of
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Lovelace Medical Center (LMC), in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. 1 The medical staff pronounced HERNANDEZ deceased on May 25, 2018 at
3:32 a.m. MDT. HERNANDEZ's preliminary cause of death was cardiac arrest. Autopsy findings and a
certificate of death are still pending.
Timeline of Events:
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ presented herself to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) at the San
Ysidro, California Port of Entry (POE) seeking asylum from Honduras.
On May 14, 2018, CBP transferred HERNANDEZ to ICE's custody. ICE proceeded to transport
HERNANDEZ to Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC) in Milan, New Mexico (NM) for housing
in the facility's transgender unit.
On the night of May 16, 2018, HERNANDEZ arrived at CCCC.
On the morning of May 17, 2018, CCCC medical staff evaluated HERNANDEZ and documented she had
an abnormally elevated temperature and pulse, abnormally low blood pressure and pulse oxygen, a
persistent cough, and appeared malnourished and dehydrated. HERNANDEZ also reported having human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to medical staff and significant weight loss in the preceding months.
Medical staff proceeded to flag HERNADEZ as a priority patient and the facility physician examined her.
The physician diagnosed HERNANDEZ with untreated HIV, dehydration, starvation, and fever with a
cough and ordered her immediate transport to Cibola General Hospital (CGH) in Grants, NM.
CGH determined HERNANDEZ required a higher level of care; therefore, they coordinated her transport
via air ambulance to Lovelace Medical Center (LMC) in Albuquerque, NM. HERNANDEZ arrived to
LMC that night and was immediately admitted into the ICU.
Over the next few days, LMC perfonned several diagnostic tests, to include CT scans, blood tests, and
chest x-rays, as well as administered intravenous antibiotics and blood pressure medication.
On May 24, 2018, LMC reporied HERNANDEZ was in serious condition. LMC medical staff performed
a procedure to remove fluid between HERNADEZ's lungs, but following the procedure, her condition
declined further. LMC medical staff intubated HERNANDEZ, placed her on a ventilator, and upgraded
her condition to critical. At l 0: 10 p.m., HERNADEZ suffered the first of several cardiac arrest episodes.
On May 25, 20 I 8, at 3:29 a.m., HERNANDEZ went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived. At 3 :32
a.m., two physicians pronounced HERNANDEZ dead. HERNANDEZ's preliminary cause of death was
cardiac arrest. Autopsy findings and a certificate of death are still pending.

1 HERNANDEZ self-identified as a transgender woman.

2020-ICLl-00006 1666

 FINDINGS
ERAU found CCCC fully compliant with the ICE PBNDS 2011 (revised 2016) Medical Care Standard,
as well as those relevant components of the ICE PBNDS 2011 pertaining to safety and security. However,
ERAU identified one area of concern regarding HERNANDEZ's intake processing, e.g., the intake
officer's lack of utilizing interpretation services.

found CCCC fully compliant with the ICE PBNDS 2011 (revised 2016) standards.
BACKGROUND:
On May 9, 2018, HERNANDEZ presented herself to CBP at the San Ysidro, California Port of Entry
seeking asylum from Honduras.
On May 14, 2018, CBP transfen-ed HERNANDEZ to ICE's custody. ICE then transported
HERNANDEZ to CCCC for housing in the facility's transgender unit, where she an-ived on the night
of May 16, 2018.
On May 17, 2018, CCCC medical staff evaluated HERNANDEZ and documented she had an
abnormally elevated temperature and pulse, abnorn1ally low blood pressure and pulse oxygen, a
persistent cough, and appeared malnourished and dehydrated. HERNANDEZ reported having human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and significant weight loss in the preceding months. Medical staff
flagged HERNADEZ as a priority patient and the facility physician examined her. The facility
physician diagnosed HERNANDEZ with untreated HIV, dehydration, starvation, and fever with a
cough, and ordered her immediate transport to Cibola General Hospital (CGH) in Grants, NM.
CGH detennined HERNANDEZ required a higher level of care and coordinated her transport via air
ambulance to LMC. HERNANDEZ arrived to LMC that night and was immediately admitted into the
ICU. Over the next few days, LMC performed several diagnostic tests.
On May 24, 2018, LMC reported HERNANDEZ was in serious condition. LMC performed a
procedure on HERNANDEZ, but her condition declined further. LMC intubated HERNANDEZ,
placed her on a ventilator, and upgraded her condition to critical. At 10:10 p.m., HERNADEZ suffered
the first of several cardiac an-est episodes.
On May 25, 2018, at 3:29 a.m., HERNANDEZ went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived. At

I will be meeting with the Hondurans at the embassy next Thursday (2/7) to raise some pending travel

HERNANDEZ, Jeffry (aka HERNANDEZ, Roxana) who passed away in ICE custody on May 25, 2018. This is

 I will be meeting with the Hondurans at the embassy next Thursday (2/7) to raise some pending travel
document requests. The Ambassador will likely raise the Govt of Honduras' request regarding

HERNANDEZ, Jeffry (aka HERNANDEZ, Roxana) who passed away in ICE custody on May 25, 2018. This is
the one from El Paso that we've emailed about before. Is there a detainee death report available that I
could share with them?
Thanks so much,

Good morningWith respect to the request by the Honduran consulate for medical records pertaining to the detainee who
passed away while in ICE custody, ERO may tum over whatever medical records IHSC possesses. See
DHS/ICE-013 Alien Health Records System SORN. But before ERO does that, it should reach out to
OPR and IHSC and find out if they are done with their investigation, as required per the detainee death
directive. Once that is cleared, ERO is free to give any files that they have.
Note that if the contract facility has separate files, the consulate will have to contact the facility separately
for those files.

Thanks! I know we use the female pronoun in the report, but still only call her Jeffrey so it looks odd. I
also just saw in the news that the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) FOIA'd the report so it would probably
be a point of contention for them as well.
It's going okay. This auditor doesn't seem to be picking up on many of the things we saw in our pre-audit

so I've been re-directing her when appropriate, and in the form of questions, if there's something she
needed to review but didn't.

She is documenting the number of tables and things like that in each unit and rec yard, which I find quite
irrelevant. She took no issues with the camera in the recreation area of the transgender unit being out
of service right now (the view we had an issue with even when it was operational). We stayed until 8:30
pm last night until I said we need to be respectful of facility staff's time and got back to the hotel a little
past 10. The only concern she noted after the tour out-brief was the sexual assault posters being posted
in areas that aren't required by the regulation (which, in my understanding, states it has to be posted in
housing units and goes no further). She's very nice but won't stop talking about her qualifications and
pretends like she knows everything; I would love to see )(6); go out with her ha. This was her first ICE

Subject: HERNANDEZ Detainee Death Review Info Request

As you know, our office will be reviewing the death of detainee HERNANDEZ who was in ICE custody at
the Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC) from May 17 - May 25, 2018, and who died on May 25,
2018. I will be the Team Lead for the review.

Attached to this email is a request for information related to HERNANDEZ. We ask that your office
provide the requested information by June 8, 2018 via SharePoint (the link is below). Please let me
know who you would like to designate to upload and I will give them the appropriate permissions. If
you have any questions about the request, please let me know. After we review the documents, we'll
send a preliminary witness list of individuals we would like to interview during our onsite review.

I'll also be following up with a request for information from San Luis and El Paso Processing, where the
detainee was also held in custody before arrival at CCCC.
