A warning for Transgender Americans: ICE is looking for you.

Hi everyone. Breathe.
Harden your heart, because we are under attack and cannot allow fear to distract us from the duty of rage. Even from Canada, I cannot look at the scene and not feel like my life is under threat. Because when everyone flees to Canada, and the US becomes a White Christian Nationalist Nazi State with Death Camps, it will turn on us. The fight is in the US, and I hope it stays in the US, because we did this to ourselves and we must resolve it.
As you know, we are bombing Iran to distract from Epstein Files findings, but also because it is pretext to clamp down with security state surveillance provided courtesy of big tech. They want every computer to have a legal ID attached to its user activity so they can identify dissidents and undesirables, and the omnibus building around KOSA, IODA, and SCREEN is being debated right now. We have a narrow window of opportunity to try to convince our lame-duck congressmen to grow a spine and a sense of accountability to their constituents and fellow citizens, and deny the government the tools to identify you with full resolution information. But this fight, even if won, will be only part of the solution to the illegal actions of the government. Actions its own rules forbid it from doing, actions which Trump will do anyway and suffer no ill consequence for because of Congress and the DoJ / US Supreme Court abandoning their duty.
Here's the deal: ICE will be targeting all minorities eventually, as we all know they have been targeting US Citizens, legal residents, and application-pending migrants; predominately black and brown communities. In January, the battle for Minneapolis didn't get the media attention it deserved, and more, that battle is ongoing to this day even though ICE has moved the bulk of its roving band of blackshirts to other communities. Not having AI Datacenters from big tech fed with all of your information and legal identification to triangulate your conduct with your legal personhood will not stop them from trying, and they have other plans likely forming in the background. Every defeat of a data center opening or ID-requirement bill passed is just the first round. He will be in office until 2028, or he is dead. We are in such dire straights as a nation that when he is gone, we will be so wounded that the next wave might get us anyway.
Nearly 2 weeks ago (wow really), in Kansas, about 1800 licenses and birth certificates of transgender Americans were declared invalid. This week, Florida made it possible to eject elected officials and cancel approved programs for promoting or even validating the LGBT+'s right to exist. Also this week, the 4th Circuit court of appeals (impacting WV, VA, NC, SC) allowed Virginia state to implement a legalized ban of transgender HRT. Also, also, this week, a third warning about an impending genocide was announced by a human rights violations monitoring organization. Also, also, also this week, Iowa announced that it will selectively ignore certain Civil Rights as the state has decided some do not deserve protection (again, for us trannies).
Now, the facts of the matter are worse than this as of yesterday. The Trump Administration has decided that visa applicants (people visiting the US from abroad) and all relevant migrants must have their birth certificate sex matching their legal identification's sex, and there are additional stipulations about updated variants of birth certificates to reflect a change in sex status for transgender international visa applicants. Naturally, nearly 2000 US Citizens just had their birth certificates invalidated in Kansas alone. When government begins declaring a group of people to be unprotected, and begins explicitly outlawing them, that is your sign that it is time to fight. When the Nazis did this to the Jewish residents of Germany, they did so by requiring Jews to self-identify with badges sewn into their clothing, signs on their businesses. They had property rights, civil liberties, and guarantees of the state gradually removed until they were steadily concentrated into ghettos by force, then eventually moved to concentration camps. The Trump Admin has no such plan to make ghettos, nearest I can tell they just plan to go right to concentration camps in the form of warehouses holding people (30 min watch).
The Trump administration's strategy is to unperson you, disappear you, and then claim that it can't find you in its concentration camp complex because ICE agents are coached to explicitly violate the law. These people do not respect the law, they are coming for you and yours, and us trannies are just the next target after the "illegals" (read: people who were majority cases here legally).
If you are not yet armed, get armed. If you can't afford to get armed, you need to start coordinating with ICE monitors in your region, start talking to your neighbors, and start discussing practices to help keep each other safe. If you are armed and can practice, good. Armed resistance requires friends though, you should do the above community coordination regardless. I am of the opinion that the battle of Minneapolis is just the start of a dark chapter in which only overwhelming violence from the citizenry at every possible location will deter would-be ICE recruits from signing up. I think that without the citizenry making these fascists pay the price in blood, we will be steadily purged. One sector at a time.
With the current record in mind, it is clear that the Midterms will not save us. Do not count on our institution to solve a problem that the citizenry will have to solve. ICE will not be constrained by a few old fucks with a (D) next to their names in Congress, even if they have a Majority, they will fund and permit ICE to continue operating. They will allow the concentration camps to continue construction, they will allow this to happen because a few hundred thousand trannies aren't worth the effort. They will betray you. They have demonstrated, beyond reasonable doubt, that they are traitors to the nation. Do not depend on them. You should vote for Democrats if you can, but be aware ICE will likely attack polling stations, and the state governments with (R)'s in their leadership are actively trying to unperson you and block you from voting.
For those who may need to know it later: ICE and CBP Agents wear plate carriers but otherwise minimal body armor protecting the extremities, abdomen, and groin. They are also still flammable. If they even have proper boots, they are not armored and are thusly soft, vulnerable failure points just like the hands. Do with this information as you need.

"Hm. I am faceless thanks to a mask which reduces empathy and mercy, poorly armored, not very well armed given my country's military budget, and given outdated info despite our expanding databases... Am I expendable fodder?" - A lone ICE agent using their last critical thinking brain cell

OP
If ICE officers start wondering about their life insurance policies and if they have a will filled out, we will have done a good warm up round.

Even sharing information like this in the US, even under private messages, directly puts you on an Anti-ICE watch list. We may be dismantled before we even get the smallest chance to prepare

The urgency to prepare now shouldn't be lost on peolpe, but it sure is.
