At the end of the story on ICE Detention on the 9 March 2025 episode of "Last Week Tonight", John Oliver calls for resistance at lower levels of goverment to the federal policies of President Donald Trump's administration: “We’re going to have to find ways to push back hard at the state and local level against those determined to score political points at the expense of an incredibly vulnerable population.” While Oliver is specifically discussing immigrants subject to detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, his point can also be applied to the scoring of political points with cruelty to all vulnerable populations—especially, with Trump, cruelty to transgender and non-binary people.
