First trans mayor in Pa. stokes backlash for posting ICE agent location: 'I won't stop alerting you'

The first transgender-identifying mayor elected in Pennsylvania appears to have deleted his X account after stoking backlash for alerting people on Facebook to what he thought was the location of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers this week.

Erica Deuso, who was elected last month to lead the borough of Downingtown near Philadelphia, was shown to have been tipping off what he believed was the live location of ICE agents in the town of approximately 8,000 on Monday. The post was soon flagged by the influential Libs of TikTok account on X.

“Thanks to an intrepid Good Neighbor I am able to tell you that there is a fresh ICE delivery near the Wawa on Boot Road in Downingtown," Deuso wrote in a post on his campaign Facebook page. "If you see these guys in their masks, tell them that it's a little too cold right now in our town for ICE."

Deuso's X account, @EricaDeuso, appears to have been deleted since Libs of TikTok picked up his post. "This account doesn't exist," the account now says, as of Tuesday.
