A Canadian woman, facing accusations of assaulting a teenager due to his “Trump” and “ICE” themed pants, is set to be deported back to Canada.
Kaitlyn Tracey received a deportation order from an immigration judge in Texas. The decision came after allegations surfaced that she confronted a group of teenagers on the Point Pleasant boardwalk in New Jersey over the Fourth of July weekend, reportedly striking one of them, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
A DHS spokesperson informed News Media that Tracey had been in the United States on a visa since April 2024, but remained beyond its expiration on September 6, 2024.

“She overstayed her visa and failed to depart,” the DHS spokesperson stated.
“She received full due process and was ordered removed on Aug. 4 by an immigration judge to her home country of Canada. ICE will return her home as soon as possible,” a spokesperson said on Wednesday.
A probable cause affidavit by law enforcement states that Tracey allegedly slapped the victim across her face and body.”
Tracey started yelling at the teen because she was wearing “patriotic colored sweatpants with political wording,” police added, stating that the young woman was wearing sweatpants that read “Trump” and “ICE.”
Tracey reportedly took issue with the group’s “patriotic colored sweatpants with political wording,” police said.

Surveillance footage showed Tracey hitting the teen twice with an open hand, once in the face and once in the body, before fleeing the scene, investigators said.

Tracey was arrested days after the incident and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction.
“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is targeting the worst of the worst,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Our message is clear: if you come into our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.”
