The organization's recently-released 2011 Operations Manual ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards states that specially-trained officers will now "inquire into a transgender detainee's gender self-identification and history of transition-related care, when a detainee self-identifies as transgender."

The article states that the US Government spends, on average, "between $23,000 and $30,000" to deport an illegal alien.  Most illegal aliens come over the Mexican border.

The great irony is that many trangendered (and non-transgendered) persons travel south of the border to get discount medications through Mexican pharmacies.

This is a clever insight.
