HRC lamenta la muerte de Karla Patricia Flores-Pavón, una joven transgénero estrangulada en Texas
HRC lamenta informar la muerte de Karla Patricia Flores-Pavón, una joven transgénero de color, encontrada muerta en su apartamento en Dallas, Texas, el 9 de mayo.
Según el The Dallas Voice, la policía confirmó que la víctima fue ahogada hasta la muerte. Si bien el perfil de Facebook de Flores-Pavón muestra su nombre como comenzando con una “K”, los informes policiales iniciales han deletreado su nombre con una “C”. Se conocen pocos detalles sobre el crimen, pero la investigación policial está en curso.
Amigos y aliados expresaron su desconsuelo a través de las redes sociales, publicando en mensajes en español. “Me duele mucho, eras una persona buena de corazón”, dijo Gia York Herrera, en una publicación de Facebook. “Hermana, vuela alto. Se te recuerda con amor y con esa sonrisa que siempre tenías hermosa”.
La muerte de Flores-Pavón es el noveno homicidio conocido de una persona transgénero este año y el segundo reportado de una persona transgénero Latinx.
Desde 2013, HRC ha reportado 113 incidentes de violencia fatal contra personas transgénero y de género no binario. De estos, 64 han sido víctimas de violencia con armas de fuego. En 2017, 16 de las 28 muertes fueron resultado de la violencia armada.
La Fundación HRC y Trans People of Color Coalition publicaron un informe documentando los descabellados actos de violencia que hicieron de 2017, el año más mortífero para personas transgénero según los registros, particularmente para mujeres transgénero de color.

HRC Responds to Troubling Confirmation of Michael Brennan
Today, HRC responded to the U.S. Senate’s troubling confirmation of judicial nominee Michael Brennan following Senate Republicans’ dismissal of the “blue slip” tradition.
“To ignore the blue slip tradition and silence the voice of Senator Baldwin and the millions of Wisconites she represents is not only disrespectful, but also weakens the legislative branch and strengthens the executive branch at a time when checks and balances are needed more than ever,” said HRC Government Affairs Director David Stacy. “We are disappointed that Senate Republicans are once again willing to ignore long-standing Senate norms to advance President Trump’s lifetime appointments of nominees with extreme ideological judicial philosophies. This is a sad day for the U.S. Senate.”
For the past 100 years, the Senate Judiciary Committee has typically waited to receive two positive blue slips from home-state senators before commencing a confirmation hearing on behalf of a proposed judge at either the District Court or Court of Appeals level. When respected, the blue slip process ensures that home-state senators are able to properly research judicial nominees and provide feedback.
Brennan himself wrote an editorial endorsing the blue slip process in 2011 after Senator Ron Johnson refused to return his blue slip for a President Obama nominee to the Seventh Circuit. In Brennan’s own words, to bypass the blue slip process would be “a purely partisan move” that would exclude not only Sen. Johnson, but the millions of citizens who voted for him.
