Caitlin and Ted Berg, a couple from Illinois, seek asylum in Canada due to concerns for their transgender and gender-fluid children amidst Trump's anti-LGBTQ+ policies. The Bergs fear for their family’s safety and mental health, exacerbated by Trump's transphobic rhetoric and executive orders that they perceive as a direct threat to their rights. After removing their children from school following Trump's inauguration, the couple decided to seek refuge outside the US. They are currently awaiting a decision from a Canadian tribunal regarding their asylum request.
When I saw what happened, Donald Trump being elected, my gut started turning. That is when I started looking at how to get my family out.
Trump has been consistently transphobic during his political career, stepping up attacks on the trans community with a wave of executive orders.
