Jane-Michelle Arc, a transgender American, has returned to California after a failed attempt to seek asylum in the Netherlands. Arc fled the U.S. following President Trump's reelection, fearing for her safety as a trans woman.

Arc's experience highlights the challenges faced by transgender individuals seeking refuge abroad, as well as the difficulties of living in refugee camps.
