ICE: Transgender women to be housed in facilities for women

A memorandum from Immigration and Customs Enforcement suggests transgender women who are detained will start being held in women's facilities. Member groups from the #Not1More campaign released a statement criticizing the guidance for being too narrow, saying that it "still allows for practices that have been denounced as inhumane -- including administrative segregation, 'protective custody,' and isolated pods -- as adequate forms of housing for transgender individuals."
