Transgender Salvadoran Woman Killed After Deportation from U.S.
---------------------------------------------------------------

A transgender woman who was deported from the U.S. has been found
murdered in El Salvador. Aurora, better known as Camila, was reported
missing in late January and was recently identified at a San Salvador
hospital after a local trans advocacy group set out to find her. Camila
reportedly fled to the U.S. after receiving threats in her home country,
but was deported because immigration officials did not believe her. She
is the second transgender woman to be killed in El Salvador this month.
