EXCERPT:
Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, was arrested Monday in connection with a July 3 confrontation at the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk, where police say she approached a group of teenagers while recording them on her cellphone.
According to police, Tracey became upset over the group’s “patriotic-colored” sweatpants, including clothing displaying the words “Trump” and “ICE.” Authorities allege she slapped one juvenile female once in the body and once in the face with an open hand. The teenager was not injured, and surveillance cameras captured the interaction.
Tracey was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment, and obstruction before being lodged in the Ocean County Jail, which confirmed to Fox News that Tracey was handed over to ICE.
Tracey is a Canadian citizen who entered the United States in 2024 using a passport, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com. After her arrest, she was transferred into ICE custody and taken to the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark. Her husband, Matthew Geroni, posted to social media confirming Tracey had been taken into ICE custody, and the agency’s detainee locator also lists Tracey as being held at the facility.
