(CNSNews.com) - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the division the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for enforcing the nation's immigration laws, will provide "hormone therapy" to illegal aliens it has detained who say they are transgender, according to the agency's operations manual for its detention facilities.
The 2011 Operations Manual ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards says that all illegal alien detainees shall be screened by a specially trained detention officer within 12 hours of their arrival at the detention facility. The operations manual specifically states that the "screening shall ... inquire into a transgender detainee's gender self-identification and history of transition-related care, when a detainee self-identifies as transgender."
If the self-professed illegal alien transgender detainee has been receiving hormone therapy on the outside, ICE will give it to him or her on the inside.
“Transgender detainees who were already receiving hormone therapy when taken into ICE custody shall have continued access,” states the report. “All transgender detainees shall have access to mental health care, and other transgender-related health care and medication based on medical need. Treatment shall follow accepted guidelines regarding medically necessary transition-related care.”
The ICE detention operations manual also says that illegal alien detainees who are pregnant will be provided with help not just for an impending delivery but also in obtaining an abortion.
Every detention facility, reads the report, “shall directly or contractually provide its female detainees with access to: 1. pregnancy services including routine or specialized prenatal care, postpartum follow-up, lactation services and abortion services as outlined herein; 2. counseling and assistance for pregnant women in keeping with their express desires in planning for their pregnancy, whether they desire abortion, adoptive services or to keep the child; ….”
Abortions will be taxpayer-funded if the life of the mother is deemed to be endangered or the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, and ICE will arrange transportation to the abortionist at no cost to the detainee.
The report reads: “2. Abortion Access. In the event continued detention is necessary and appropriate, and consistent with the practice of our federal partners, if the life of the mother would be endangered by carrying a fetus to term, or in the case of rape or incest, ICE will assume the costs associated with a female detainee’s decision to terminate a pregnancy.”
It further states: “a. In this instance, or in a situation where a female detainee opts to fund the termination of her pregnancy, ICE shall arrange for transportation at no cost to the detainee for the medical appointment and, if requested by the detainee, for access to religious counseling, and non-directive (impartial) medical resources and social counseling, to include outside social services or women’s community resource groups.”
ICE’s estimated budget for fiscal year 2012 (which began Oct. 1, 2011) is $5.8 billion. ...
Now we read where Mitty wants to wage a polite campaign against the communist muslim who is ensconsed in the White Hut.
The time may be coming when we will have to refuse to pay our taxes for any more of this mixture of ignorance and evil.
Ron Paul will never get there because his political philosophy is woefully incomplete. The US, for reasons whether to the good or ill, cannot ignore the rest of the globe. Not even Barack Obama has that problem.
Therefore we have Newt Gingrich and possibly Santorum as about the only credible supply siders. Tricks with the US banking system won’t solve the US debt problem. That’s like firing your bookkeeper because your business is not turning a profit. Productivity, and taking the shackles off of things that hinder it, will.
Nothing but acts of terrorism by the left on the taxpayers.
the govt is pushing drugs like mad. What are the side effects? CANCER? messing around with the hormones is a huge mistake and maybe that is what the govt’s goal is???
they might be using these unsuspecting illegal aliens as guinea pigs.
It is statist liberals’ idea of compassion.
This is why we are doomed. The GOP is worthless, worse than worthless and no longer provides any vessle to comnbat these communists.
Just make the hormone treatments mandatory.
Since the goobers in the gooberment like to keep a problem to justify agency expansion, I suggest mandatory formaldehyde injections.
Illegal immigrants would then last, and last, and last.
I aimply do NOT recognize my country any more.
Awww, isn’t that special.
NEXT: Free contraceptives to illegals as a guaranteed federal “right”.
O.K. folks!...When in the hell is it time to take back this country?
Why is it we see to be able to afford to pay for this kind of mess while at the same time cutting back on medical care for our military and veterans?

The reason for this is quite simple: The dems get one vote from Juan and one vote from Juanita.
Now is a good time.
