The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 60: Lyz Lenz on “Why Minnesota” and Resisting the ICE crackdown

This week’s Big Story is split into two disturbing reports: the escalating and ominous actions of ICE agents in Minnesota—including the abduction of observers—and the Trump administration’s targeting of transgender gun owners through potential changes to federal forms. For the Big Interview, I’m thrilled to be joined by acclaimed author and writer Lyz Lenz to discuss her powerful blog post “Why Minnesota,” exploring the cultural and political reasons our state has become a target for federal crackdowns and the incredible resistance being led by local women. In News Bites, I cover a victory against a DOJ subpoena regarding transgender records and a new, chilling law in North Carolina impacting trans youth. Finally, in Random Acts, I share a poignant letter from a listener in Buffalo, Minnesota, reminding us that resistance is a moral imperative.
