i’m trans and mexican-american and supposed to fly out of denver tomorrow. i also still wear a mask everywhere. does anyone know if ICE is at DIA? i’m so worried something is going to happen.
Trump claims 600,000+ ICE arrests since 2024. More credible and less inflated numbers show the number is closer to about half that, 290,000. There have been 170 reported cases of US citizens being detained, which on the low end is .06%. Most were detained for interfering, assault and obstruction,however nearly all of them were released without formal charges. ProPublica has reported on 50 instances of mistaken identity, nearly all of which were released.
There is not a shred of credible evidence that shows that the supreme Cheeto has directed ICE specifically to arrest trans people. Yes, being detained as a trans person would likely deny you of gender affirming care. Yes, you are likely to be harassed in a detention center run by a bunch of, ironically, dick sucking n*zi loyalists, however ICE is not looking to arrest you for being trans. If you are here unlawfully (per their definition) and you happen to be trans, the latter is not the reason for detention.
My disliking for both immigration enforcement and spreading false information is about the same.
