ICE ends trans medical care & protective policies at detainment facilities

An immigration detainment facility in Aurora, Colorado, has ended its provision of medical care and protective policies for transgender inmates. The facility was one of two nationwide that provided gender-affirming care, though the presidential administration has ended similar care at other facilities since taking office last January.

Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ended the policy earlier this month in a memo to the GEO Group, the company that operates the facility. The memo ended a 2022 directive requiring staff to continue providing gender-affirming care to detainees who were already receiving it before their detainment, The Denver Post reported.

In previous lawsuits, trans inmates have argued that the denial of gender-affirming care worsens their gender dysphoria, violates their Eighth Amendment Constitutional protections against "cruel and unusual punishment," and also violates both the Americans with Disabilities Act and the federal Rehabilitation Act.

Gender-affirming care is considered essential and life-saving by all major American medical associations.

The ending of the policy is part of the current presidential administration's ongoing crusade to eradicate trans people from existence. The president has issued several executive orders and made public statements referring to trans people as mentally ill, selfish, dishonorable, deceitful, and undisciplined. He has ordered all federal agencies to deny trans people's existence and to end any trans-inclusive policies.

It violates Colorado State Law, but federal agencies on federal land abide only by federal laws and policies.

One day, I hope to see massive lawsuits against all of the leaders in this regime for the illegal discrimination they have inflicted on so many people.
