ICE: Transgender Illegals Guaranteed ‘Right to Hormone Therapy’ in Detention

CNSNews.com) – An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement testified Friday during a discussion on immigration detention facilities, hosted by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, that transgender individuals are guaranteed “a right to hormone therapy.”

“With respect to treatment while in detention - the medical care standard - the standards guarantees a right to hormone therapy for individuals who need it for treatment, and even in facilities that are not covered by that standard. Our ICE House Service Corps is very vigilant on that issue to ensuring that individuals receive necessary hormone therapy,” said Kevin Landy, assistant director of the ICE office of detention policy and planning.

According to Commission Chairman Martin Castro, the Department of Homeland Security is the “largest agency that has custody of transgender individuals.”

I swear it has reached the point were illegal aliens in this country have more rights than I, a natural born citizen of 56yrs. I have to show id to buy beer, evan at my age, but to ask an illegal is a violation of HIS RIGHTS! I have to pay taxes or go to jail an illegal pays no taxes and can collect food stamps, I have to work hard show all kinds of paper work and id to buy or rent a home an illegal has a RIGHT to housing, I could go on and on but evan now as I write this my govt is recording me while some illegal who has either raped, robbed or pilliged someone is let out of jail because it's his right to roam free!
