Oh Hey, Speaking of Rainbows...
Remember that big press conference that County Judge Veronica Escobar had for the transgender woman who was arrested by ICE in the courthouse while she was trying to get an order of protection?
Well she's still being incarcerated. She's a victim of that bad policy that Judge Escobar and Sheriff Wiles support. She's being held on an ICE detainer.
No press conferences for her anymore though.
But here's where things get really, really, really sad.
When I tell you what I'm about to tell you, you're gonna say, "hey, that sounds familiar. I've heard that story somewhere before."
Well you probably have. Especially if you watch Orange is the New Black because it sounds exactly like a story line from a couple seasons ago. Here's the dirty little secret:
Sources indicate that the transgender woman is being held in segregation in the county jail.
And my source also indicates that she's not being given her medication (the hormones she needs and everything else).
Thats not a Netflix script, that is the reality of a bad policy.
So yeah, the win on Saturday was big.
But so is this.
