“Immigration detention was the most painful, desperate, and dark period in my life,” Berto Hernandez, a 32-year-old who lives in California, told Teen Vogue, describing bad conditions and treatment and saying their queer identity played a factor. On one particularly bad day in detention, Hernandez remembers, “having this anguish and overwhelming sadness because I could no longer bear to be in ICE custody.… My humanity was reduced to a case number.”
