Arrelano, a transgender person who went by the name Victoria, had been deported to Mexico in 2003. Arrelano was in detention since mid-May pending an immigration hearing to determine whether she would again be returned to Mexico.

According to attorneys involved in the case, Arrelano's physical condition deteriorated to the point that fellow detainees implored the staff to provide medication.
