i am not a legal expert, so i don't know if it actually holds, but my understanding of the argument presented by the article is: 1) ICE is allowed to profile people based on their appearance, and 2) there is now a requirement for trans people to apply for visas as their AGAB, ICE can now profile people for "looking trans", based on the justification that the aforementioned rule about visas is now in effect (i.e. 1 applies to trans people now based on 2); especially because "ICE cannot know someone's immigration status without investigating their paperwork"
if your understanding is different, i would like to hear it
If that's true it sounds like ICE is going to start targeting trans people, harassing us for our documents to prove citizenship, then denying the validity of those documents and sending us to concentration camps, or maybe "deporting" us to random countries.
Guess we will have to shoot some mother fuckers then.
Step up fuck bois.
