The 2011 Operations Manual ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards says that all illegal alien detainees shall be screened by a specially trained detention officer within 12 hours of their arrival at the detention facility. The operations manual specifically states that the "screening shall ... inquire into a transgender detainee's gender self-identification and history of transition-related care, when a detainee self-identifies as transgender."
If the self-professed illegal alien transgender detainee has been receiving hormone therapy on the outside, ICE will give it to him or her on the inside.
“Transgender detainees who were already receiving hormone therapy when taken into ICE custody shall have continued access,” states the report. “All transgender detainees shall have access to mental health care, and other transgender-related health care and medication based on medical need. Treatment shall follow accepted guidelines regarding medically necessary transition-related care.”

grrrrr this just ticks me off. There was another case in Cali where the illegal was in the hospital for over a year because of an infection. At least now that he is better he plans to go back to Mexico to work in the family business. No wonder so many hospitals in Cali have closed!
Illegal is illegal. Why should they get any kind of treatment, horomial or otherwise. I guess if one of them wanted to have a sex change but couldn't decide which sex to change to, we'd give them free medical treatment for that. Has our Country lost all common sense.
If they paid for his/her continued treatments the least he/she could do would be to "service" his/her fellow inmates.
