Earlier this month, a federal judge paused the deportation of Angel Jenkel, a non-binary American, after determining that the immigration officer evaluating their case failed to properly consider the Trump administration’s recent transgender policies. The ruling was narrowly focused on procedural fairness and was agnostic about whether non-binary people actually face persecution in the United States. Nonetheless, some Canadian media outlets misleadingly implied that the judge had found that gender minorities are intolerably unsafe in the United States.
