Umamusume Cosplayer Tan Details Brutal ICE Arrest in New York, Detained in Wrong-Gender Facility

A cosplayer known for portraying characters from Umamusume: Pretty Derby, identified as Tan, has come forward with details of a violent arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in New York. According to Tan, four agents attacked them during the arrest, which led to their detention. This incident highlights the aggressive tactics used in immigration enforcement and raises concerns about the treatment of transgender and non-binary individuals in custody. Tan was reportedly held at a facility that did not match their gender identity, a practice that advocates say increases the risk of harassment and assault. The case has drawn attention from cosplay and LGBTQ+ communities, who are calling for accountability and policy changes. As immigration enforcement intensifies, stories like Tan's underscore the human cost and the urgent need for oversight and reform.
