The hate-filled hubby of a Canadian woman who was arrested for allegedly slapping a Trump-supporting teen on the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend is trying to dismiss it as a “nothingburger” — while blaming “conservatives online” for landing her in ICE custody.
Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, was taken into custody by ICE after the July 3 confrontation and is now confined at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, with the agency saying she overstayed her visa after entering the US with her passport in 2024.
Her husband, Matthew Geroni — who has wished death on President Trump and even for his family to all get cancer — claims they are the victims of his wife's alleged July 3 attack on a 16-year-old girl with “patriotic-colored” MAGA sweatpants at the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk.
“This whole situation has been blown out of proportion and a person like Kate does not belong in any facility,” the 42-year-old husband, who admitted he was not there at the time, told NJ.com.
“My wife has never been in trouble in her entire life.
She’s never had any kind of situation like this.
This one little situation that was really a nothingburger when it happened has been blown so out of control by conservatives online that it has caused my wife to be put in a detention center,” Geroni claimed.
Tracey turned herself in after hearing charges had been filed on July 9.
She was held at Ocean County Jail until ICE moved her to Delaney Hall after lodging an immigration detainer.
