She reported being abused by US prison guards. Now she faces deportation

Cristal, 31, was one of many to speak up against sexual violence in federal prison, but at the end of her sentence was taken by Ice

In early 2022, Cristal came forward about the horrific sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of multiple guards at the federal prison in Dublin, California - one of dozens of victims to speak up about misconduct.

Today, rather than being reunited with her family after completing her sentence, she's in immigration detention, awaiting deportation to Mexico - a country she left as a baby.
