NBCOUT Wow, she must have beatan he self up.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT This country needs the most help. I think Fight Club had it right and extrapolate from there. Make everyone even and start over.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT 😣

NBCOUT What did we think was gonna happen when you give an agency no limit to what they can do. ICE practically run themselves.

NBCOUT People die in custody all the time. You want a real tragity try someone who is struggling with addiction and being jailed. They suffer inside there and don't receive any medical care. It is pure torture for them, not to mention the ignorant police who lock them up.

NBCOUT See this is why i don't watch the news. They picked this case because the person is a trans who happened to have died in custody. Who knows why the trans person was beaten, may they pissed off someone or stole and was running we don't know. Don't let the news goad you into fight.

NBCOUT He needed help and we don't take mental health issues seriously in this country. We also don't punish those that hurt mentally ill people like we should.

NBCOUT The guy died of Aids sorry dude about your Luck If I had to guess the abuse came from other Detainees

NBCOUT That’s a dude...

NBCOUT This is unacceptable! This should not happen in the land of the Brave and the “FREE “. We are currently the arbiter of the world 🌎 we need to set an example to all mankind! The world follow us and watches every move we make! LET’S STOP HURTING OURSELVES! ICE LoveandLight

NBCOUT *man it’s a MAN...

NBCOUT It’s for stories like this that Twitter should have a choice other than like or retweet.

NBCOUT He!

BoundarySeeker NBCOUT 😞🕯💛

NBCOUT By whom. Story is misleading with out clarifications.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT She....

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT This is looking like Guantanamo Bay all over again--only with civilians instead of terrorists.

NBCOUT This . Headlines like this. Trump’s not undermining your reputation. You are undermining the people’s trust with these inflammatory deceptive headlines

WritersofColour NBCOUT Here we go. This our government folks!

NBCOUT Trump the killer!

NBCOUT That independent autopsy 6 months later must've cost quite a bit to get those results

NBCOUT We're supposed to be able to win a war, but can't safeguard are own prisoners?

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT When it comes to our safety in the trans community it is basically as safe as it was like being gay in the 70s and 80s. And that's sad.

NBCOUT Imagine that, CBP is the new gestapo for the trump presidency

NBCOUT Someone needs to be held accountable. This is unacceptable.

NBCOUT It's important to get an autopsy right away, but was there no other person qualified, considering evidence is important in wrongful death suits?

NBCOUT Leave the teams bullshit out of it. No one cares about that. Just say a man seeking asylum died while in custody!. That’s what he is a man in drag!

NBCOUT Under trumps orders this man has cold veins

NBCOUT Oh wow

NBCOUT Land of the free, home of the brave

NBCOUT

NBCOUT So he got beat up by boys in jail.. go figure

NBCOUT

NBCOUT What is unclear. Why do immigrants not have jobs at home. It takes money to travel even by foot. I guess they all have fat bank account.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT These times are dire.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT Sad world we live in. RIP sweet angel..

NBCOUT And how is that the fault of the United States. There is no doubt she was probably abused. Most likely by her own transition offending someone. Is it wrong? Absolutely. But our country can not be held responsible. She chose her life. Only she could chose.

Heartbreaking.

NBCOUT As usual NBC making incomplete reports in order to cause outrage. Just wait until an official report is made on what happened before insinuating fault. Instigating unrest is the NBC way.

NBCOUT She was abused before arrested?

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT This is disgusting!

NBCOUT RIP Angel

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT What a disgusting senseless waste of a life , Trump should be ashamed of himself but as we all no bye now he couldn't care less 🤔🤠🤷‍♂️👎🖕

NBCOUT So?

NBCOUT Open our borders! That’s the solution to all this. There is no reason for us to keep people out. America was never supposed to have borders. This nation was built for the world. We didn’t build this and we don’t own this. Enough of the greed.

NBCOUT 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

NBCOUT Crazy...why dig around for tailored fitted stories...I guess all the mass shootings belong on the shoulders of Obama and Holder if that's the case.

NBCOUT The article says she died of a long running HIV infection.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT ROXSANA HERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ is her name!!

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT This is tragic and upsetting. I hope that anyone who harmed/“abused” her while in custody caught her HIV. This death was preventable, and I believe those responsible for it deserve the same fate. Eye for an eye

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT

NBCOUT She was beautiful

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT Resign Nielsen! Look what you’ve done enforcing policies intended to traumatize children & familiies. Policies credibly described as child abuse, families being gassed, Trans folk dying in detention after “physical abuse”. Resign! shame kidsCaged DetentionCampsForKids ITMFA

NBCOUT Yep the realDonaldTrump gestapo at work.

NBCOUT Anyone read the entire article to see person performing autopsy had been discredited and left job for being paid to do private autopsies for people and tailoring results to suit their narrative? Sure buried that little tidbit NBC. fakenews

NBCOUT Some like it Hot and Some like it Ruff!

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT Absolutely disgusting

NBCOUT Wow. That’s terrible. In response, let’s just get rid of our borders!

NBCOUT Was Dwight Howard there?

NBCOUT AbolishICE

NBCOUT Abuse by who and how ? Stop the ASSumptions 😡 Perhaps it was others being held that found his lifestyle unacceptable, perhaps the untreated and out of control HIV ! I’ll wait for FACTS which seems something the media has a hard time reporting!!

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT Transgender woman means what? He has a penis? XX or XY. There are only two options, neither is a choice.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT I’m telling you ICE is America’s gestapo

NBCOUT 33 Huh

NBCOUT So ?

NBCOUT

NBCOUT That's a dude.

NBCOUT This is not my America.

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT Inexcusable.

NBCOUT Our Border Patrol is morphing into an SS-type force of thugs. We have to get in front of this.

NBCOUT Holy Shit! That is sick-making! In Repub-lackin` terms; 'on brand!' Lie in the bed you made, Repub-lackin's! Think about what it is you lack.

NBCOUT Probably at the hands of the people she was in detention with that thought he/she was a FREAK!!!!

NBCOUT ✌

NBCOUT Come here legally and everyone gets to live happily ever after. Why is that a difficult concept? Have a blessed day.

NBCOUT Dude...

NBCOUT

NBCOUT FakeNews. No one cares.

NBCOUT Clearly unwell. Pandering to him wouldn’t have helped. No right to live in USA.

NBCOUT What are we the people going to do about it. Is there a plan, like call our senators, congress reps., and governors?

NBCOUT 😭

NBCOUT Thats not a woman. Dont call him that. Do you have no sense of smell? Homosexuality is a mental illness.

NBCOUT So, what exactly are you implying? Cuz you aren't really Saying anything.... Did ICE do this? Do you have proof? Also, just curious, who paid for the autopsy? These people aren't supposed to have any $$$... I know I was charged $5000 to get an autopsy done.... FAKENEWS

NBCOUT WTF some homosexual sneaking into USA gets beat up by fellow illegals and it a USA problem?

NBCOUT Oh... means Punjabi's reached their from Pakistan . Well it is very common in Pakistan special in Punjab even they raped 2-3years old childrens.

NBCOUT Trump Camps will be the biggest stain on US History in this century.

NBCOUT That would have surprised me if it happened in America before tRump but these days it doesn't

GeorgeTakei NBCOUT We're not human to them.
