Now suspect is in ICE custody.
A 33-year-old Canadian female is accused of slapping a teenage girl wearing pro-Trump clothing on a boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, earlier this month — and now the suspect is in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The accused — Kaitlyn E. Tracey — was recording on her phone July 3 when she approached the teen and her friends, NJ.com reported, citing court documents.
'I need help.'
The teen was wearing sweatpants containing the words "Trump" and “ICE," the outlet reported. Police said Tracey "began yelling at the female juvenile over patriotic colored sweatpants with political wording."
Police added that Tracey "was then seen on video striking the juvenile female, once to the body and once to the face, with an open hand. The female suspect then left the scene without being identified."
Police department detectives conducted an investigation, and police said they identified Tracey on July 6 as the suspect in connection with the incident.
Tracey was charged with simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child, harassment, and obstruction, police said, adding that Tracey early on Monday was taken into custody without incident, processed, and transported to Ocean County Jail.
NJ.com, citing court papers, reported that Tracey is a Canadian citizen who entered the United States with a passport in 2024.
Indeed, NJ.com added that a man who identified himself as Tracey's husband said Tracey is being turned over to ICE.
Blaze News on Wednesday morning checked ICE records, which show Tracey is in ICE custody at its Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, N.J.
NJ.com said court records indicate Tracey is scheduled for an Aug. 4 court appearance.
"I need help," Matthew Geroni said in a video posted to TikTok, according to NJ.com. "I need my wife. I don't want her to get hurt."
The New York Post reported that Geroni is an American citizen who married Tracey "a little over three years ago" and has been sharing his wife's story with his 140,000 followers.
The paper added that Tracey had been living in Asbury Park with her husband.
More from the Post:
Geroni didn’t mention Tracey’s alleged assault of a teen girl that led to her arrest during his public plea, instead claiming the entire situation was being taken out of context.
He created a GoFundMe page for his wife’s legal expenses but was forced to take it down a short time later after a “Facebook group of MAGA supporters” mass-reported it, he said. [...]
Geroni, who routinely posts videos mocking Republicans, described himself as the “Clown of Asbury Park” and the “Jester of the Jersey Shore.”
He claimed cops told his wife to leave the boardwalk after the alleged assault because they didn’t have enough to charge her before Tracey later turned herself over to police after an arrest warrant was issued.
Tracey's attorney, Francis R. Hodgson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday, according to NJ.com.
NJ.com added that the victim was not injured and that her age is redacted in court documents.
Police said, "We would like to thank the Asbury Park Police Department, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, The 11th District of the Toronto Police Service, and the United States Custom and Border Protection Intelligence Team for their assistance during this investigation."

Democrat Senator Wants ICE Agents To Choose Between Getting Run Over And Going To Jail
Sen. Padilla suggested that officers whose lives are put at risk by agitators or illegals should automatically be fired for acting in self-defense.
Deportations Are Only Deadly Because Of Democrat Resistance

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin has led his department to once again cave on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations Tuesday after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine. In the past week, a Mexican illegal alien was shot in Texas after he “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an […]ICE slams the brakes on vehicle stops nationwide: Report
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appears to be hitting pause.
The agency has reportedly ordered officers nationwide to stand down on most vehicle stops, multiple law enforcement sources say — with one exception: operations targeting serious criminal offenders. Everyone else is on hold while agents go through updated training on the tactic.
'Numbers are going down, we can't do s**t.'
Neither ICE nor the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed the pause, or the reasoning behind it, in an on-the-record statement.
An ICE spokesperson told Blaze News that the agency is "always evaluating our procedures to keep our officers safe and criminals off our streets," adding, "We will not disclose or discuss law enforcement tactics."
The directive doesn't appear to be a written policy. Three Homeland Security sources told the Daily Wire they were simply informed "no more vehicle stops for now."
CNN, citing a source familiar with the guidance, reported that it applies to agents under Enforcement and Removal Operations, ICE's arrest-and-deportation branch, and pauses their ability to initiate stops — pushing officers toward other tactics for routine immigration enforcement and requiring coordination with partner agencies to pull over someone wanted on a criminal warrant.

One agency source, frustrated by the impact on arrest numbers, told the Daily Wire: "Numbers are going down, we can't do s**t."
The timing traces back to two shootings in the last week. Last Tuesday, an ICE officer in Houston shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a vehicle stop. ICE claims he rammed a law enforcement vehicle and tried to run down an officer.
Six days later, on Monday, agents in Biddeford, Maine, shot and killed a man identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national. ICE confirmed that the deceased was an illegal alien with a final removal order, but whether he was the intended target of the operation is unclear.
In its statement on the Maine shooting, the DHS said the man "attempted to flee the scene" and that, "fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon."

Maine Sen. Angus King (I), who was briefed by DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, told CNN, "We haven't seen evidence" yet that the officer feared for his safety or anyone else's, and he pushed for a transparent investigation.
The two deaths add to a string of violent encounters ICE says its officers are facing — the DHS has cited a more than 1,300% increase in assaults on its officers — as the agency's deportation operations have expanded under the Trump administration.
Vehicle stops have been one of ICE's primary tools for locating and arresting targets away from homes and workplaces. Pulling back on that tactic, even temporarily, could slow arrest numbers in the near term.
