Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

They know that the executive orders, particularly around trans health care, will be challenged. The point is to shock and awe. The point is to get as many organizations, businesses, and people to pre-comply as they can.

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.
"Screenshot of an article by Erica L. Green, titled 'Federal workers were given 10 days to report on attempts to ‘disguise’ D.E.I. programs.' The article discusses the Trump administration's directive to federal employees to report colleagues who defy orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with warnings of 'adverse consequences' for non-compliance. Employees were given a 10-day deadline to report violations via email without facing disciplinary action."
