""I am afraid of what might happen to someone like me under an administration like Donald Trump's. It is an authoritarian, anti-democratic government that has no respect for international law.""
""There is a deep-seated fear of how people are treated by immigration authorities and law enforcement. All of this is terrifying, and it has convinced me that I should not set foot in the United States as long as a fascist government is in power.""
""I felt violated, disrespected, and I felt that my country's powers were being invaded by a completely delusional person, a sick man who occupied the presidency of the United States and feels he owns the truth.""
Erika Hilton, a transgender Brazilian lawmaker, has stated she will not visit the United States while Donald Trump is in power due to fears for her safety. She expressed concerns about the authoritarian nature of Trump's government and its treatment of marginalized individuals. Hilton felt disrespected when her U.S. travel visa listed her gender as male, leading her to cancel a planned trip to participate in a conference. This experience reinforced her decision to avoid the U.S. until a more respectful administration is in place.
