DISCLAIMER: Professional rage incoming. Explicit language, zero citations, maximum heresy against authoritarian bullshit. If you’re allergic to profanity, cruelty, or the truth, now’s the time to leave the theater.

Let’s talk about the latest masterclass in governmental sociopathy from the people currently playing Mad Libs with human lives down at ICE.

A transgender woman — Britania Uriostegui Rios — gets deported to Mexico by accident, according to the same federal agency that can track a migrant’s cousin’s roommate’s phone number three countries away but somehow can’t read a fucking judge’s order stapled to the front of a file folder.

They didn’t just deport her.

They deported her to the one place she was legally forbidden to be sent, because a judge — a literal United States immigration judge — said she’d likely be tortured there.

And ICE said: “Oh golly gee, our bad.”

Like they misplaced a package.

Like they stepped on a Lego.

Like the law is a speed bump they forgot to slow down for.

This is not an accident. This is not a clerical error. This is not a whoopsie-doodle moment in American governance.

This is deliberate cruelty dressed in a cheap polyester uniform pretending it tripped on justice’s shoelaces.

And let’s be crystal fucking clear — because the moral positioning matters: This isn’t about innocence. Uriostegui Rios committed crimes, including a serious one. Deportation? Absolutely on the table.

The law allows that.

What the law does NOT allow is deporting someone into a torture chamber. What the law does not allow is ignoring a judge’s order. What the law does not allow is using immigration as a blunt-force weapon to punish trans people for existing.

And with this administration?

It’s ALWAYS the trans women who get “accidentally” deported.

It’s ALWAYS the trans detainees who end up in men’s facilities.

It’s ALWAYS the trans asylum seekers who get their meds withheld, their protections ignored, and their cases rushed through like someone’s running a goddamn extermination program on fast-forward.

This woman was trafficked by cartels at age TWELVE.

Twelve. She has PTSD, she has mental health issues, she has survived more violence than the entire GOP caucus combined — and that’s before the United States government tossed her across the border without her meds, money, or phone like a bag of trash someone forgot was leaking.

And the government’s response?

“Yeah, okay, she was sent there, uh, inadvertently. Tell her to walk back across the border if she doesn’t die on the way.”

Fucking unbelievable.

This is the FOURTH — maybe FIFTH — time this year they’ve deported someone illegally.

Sometimes it’s asylum seekers. Sometimes it’s the wrong person entirely. Sometimes it’s someone granted protection. And every damn time, the pattern is obvious: Rush out the marginalized people while the lawyers are sleeping.

Break the law first, justify it later.

Call it an accident. 

Weaponize incompetence.

It is cruelty with plausible deniability. It is fascism with a filing cabinet.

And don’t you dare pretend this isn’t targeted.

This administration is obsessed with trans people. Obsessed. They banned them from the military. They tried to strip gender identity out of asylum guidelines. They built trans-only detention wings — in MEN’S facilities. They brag about “biological reality” like they’ve ever passed a biology class. 

And now, apparently, they’re speedrunning how fast they can get a trans woman murdered on foreign soil.

But here’s the kicker — the thing that makes this whole performance even more grotesque: They didn’t even bother hiding it.

If they actually cared about the law, the court order, human rights, or — I dunno — not getting someone tortured, they would have paused, checked the paperwork, followed the literal rules they’re sworn to uphold.

Instead? They jammed her into a car, drove her south, and said “Good luck, sweetheart, hope you don’t get killed. Oops.”

Oops.

OOPS.

The United States government has turned human rights violations into a fucking clerical error.

And when she tries to come back? When she walks miles to a port of entry under threat of murder? 

ICE wants to put her BACK in custody. Because they “can’t be trusted to follow the law” without chaining her in arm’s reach.

This isn’t law enforcement. This is sadism with a press release.

And anyone pretending otherwise knows exactly what they’re doing.
