Woman Detained by ICE After Slapping MAGA Teen

Kaitlyn E. Tracey’s husband desperately begged on TikTok for the release of his wife.

A Canadian woman accused of slapping two Trump-supporting teenagers was arrested and detained by ICE. The 33-year-old woman, identified as Kaitlyn E. Tracey, allegedly recorded herself confronting the teenagers at Point Pleasant Beach on the Jersey Shore who were wearing clothing that said “TRUMP” and “ICE.” According to a police affidavit obtained by NJ.com, the Canadian citizen slapped one of the teens in “patriotic-colored” clothing. Since her Monday arrest, for which she is being charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment, and obstruction, Tracey’s husband, American citizen Matthew Geroni, has posted updates to his 142,000 TikTok followers as a cry for help. “I don’t know what to do. My wife is being detained by ICE,” said Geroni, a frequent critic of conservatives on his platform. He said he is unable to reach his wife and has “no money.” The couple has been living in Asbury Park together since Tracey came to the United States in 2024. She awaits an Aug. 4 court hearing. The Daily Beast has reached out to Tracey’s husband for comment.
