Carolyn Drake
USA. Queens, NY. 2017. Rosaleda was one of a few female police officers who worked in Comayagua, Honduras. In 2008, her cousin, who was a defense attorney, was murdered. While independently investigating the case, Rosaleda found evidence that her supervisor had ordered the killing. After her colleagues got wind of her findings, Rosaleda was raped and suffered two death threats. During the second attempt, two of her colleagues were shot and killed as they tried to defend her. Rosaleda fled to the U.S. and was apprehended at the border in Texas in May 2009. She did not articulate her fears at the border because she was afraid that word would get back to her colleagues in Honduras through the government apparatus. She was swiftly deported via expedited removal. Rosaleda left for the U.S. again in September 2009 after receiving another death threat. During the journey through Mexico, she was kidnapped by traffickers. She reached the U.S. border and was apprehended again on October 5, 2009. Rosaleda spent six months in immigration detention before she was released.
