In 2017, ICE opened a dedicated unit for transgender women in the Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico, with common areas, televisions, microwaves, a library, and access to outdoor recreation. The facility’s medical and detention staff are trained in best practices for the care of transgender individuals. A dedicated custody resource coordinator ensures detainee access to care and services, and partnerships with local transgender organizations provide peer support and other services and programming.
