ICE detains Canadian woman after allegedly assaulting teen wearing Trump clothing

Police said video showed Kaitlyn Tracey slapping a teenager after a confrontation over political clothing, and ICE later took her into custody.

  • A Canadian woman has been taken into ICE custody after allegedly attacking a group of teenagers wearing pro-Trump clothing on a New Jersey boardwalk.
  • The suspect, 33-year-old Kaitlyn E. Tracey, was arrested following a July 3 confrontation on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk. Police say she recorded herself on her phone as she approached the teens and began yelling at them.
  • The confrontation turned physical over "patriotic-colored" sweatpants, which displayed the words "Trump" and "ICE". Tracey allegedly struck one of the minor girls once in the body and once across the face with an open hand.
  • Tracey faces multiple state-level charges, including child endangerment, simple assault, harassment, and obstruction. Following her arrest by local police, she was transferred to the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark.
  • ICE detained Tracey because she is in the U.S. illegally, with federal authorities confirming that she entered the country on a tourist passport in April 2024 but overstayed her visa's expiration date in September 2024.
