Americans who fled to the Netherlands in a bid to escape the Trump administration are now living in filthy refugee camps, it has emerged.

According to Dutch immigration authorities, 76 US citizens claimed asylum in the country last year, a significant increase from the nine that did in 2024.

Many of those who have left are transgender or parents to transgender children and are housed in the 'queer block' of an overcrowded camp in the northern village of Ter Apel, The Guardian reported.

The camp, which resembles a prison, has guards stationed at every gate and offers less than desirable amenities.

Residents have complained that the tiny college-dorm-like rooms they are provided are covered in graffiti, with some alleging that they suspect bodily fluids have been smeared on the walls.
