"During the week of the inauguration of a president whose policies will lead to a sharp increase in migrant arrests, America's newest immigrant detention centre opened in rural north Texas.
Known as Prairieland, it has an unusual feature designed to protect an especially vulnerable section of the population: a unit for transgender detainees. Some LGBT advocates, though, question whether holding transgender people in a detached pod in a remote location will do more harm than good."

This could make sense to some folks who intend to segregate or remove trans people from any public sphere.  Chilling for a state that is into the bathroom bill BS.
