Southern California DJ detained at Otay Mesa for nearly four months, alleges forced pregnancy tests and abuse
Jul 28, 2026 · San Diego, CA, Mexico

Diana Ledesma, a DJ known as DJ Reina Azteca in the Stockton music scene, was detained at Otay Mesa Detention Center on December 18, 2025, for nearly four months. She was detained during an immigration check-in while enrolled in the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program and had a pending U-Visa and open asylum case. Ledesma alleges she was forced to take a pregnancy test against her will after initially refusing, was confined to a cold holding cell without adequate clothing, and experienced other harsh conditions including allegations of potential infectious disease outbreaks and human-sized cages. She lost access to her DJ music and accounts during detention and was uncertain about recovering her confiscated identification documents from the federal government.
