Shouldn’t San Francisco have the special housing unit? Time to stop coddling the special unique snowflake illegal aliens.

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, about a “special housing unit in the Los Angeles area dedicated to the gay, bisexual and transgender detainees.”
“We have a special housing unit in the Los Angeles area dedicated to the gay, bisexual and transgender detainees,” said Kevin Landy, assistant director of the ICE office of detention policy and planning.[…]
When transgender detainees are taken into custody, they are assessed individually, and decisions about how the individual will be classified and where the individual will be placed “may not be based solely on the biological anatomy of that individual,” Landy said.
During the intake process, detainees are asked a number of questions, including “whether any of a variety of special vulnerabilities apply,” Landy said. “One of those special vulnerabilities is whether that individual might fear for their safety in detention due to their gender identity or sexual orientation. So that’s a factor being taken in immediately.”
