The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 59: ICE Raids, SCOTUS Arguments, and a Grassroots Victory in Carver County

This week’s Big Story covers the terrifying ICE raids sweeping the Twin Cities and my concerns regarding the Supreme Court’s recent arguments on transgender student athletes. For the Big Interview, I speak with Becky and Monique, two courageous activists from Carver County who detail how they successfully rallied their community to stop the local Sheriff from signing a contract to house ICE detainees. In News Bites, I report on the Trump administration launching Title IX investigations into schools supporting trans athletes and a massive $45 million donation from MacKenzie Scott to The Trevor Project. Finally, in Random Acts, I reflect on recent speaking engagements and the palpable fear mixed with solidarity I witnessed at a local Spanish Immersion school.
