Three transgender people imprisoned in federal custody claimed a class action lawsuit on Trump Administration and Federal Bureau PR F-Jerry (BOP) on Friday on new policies, in which they banned their reach of gender-conscious care.
A BOP directive, including hormone therapy and surgery, challenged President Trump’s executive orders and BOP directors for trans filed in the US District Court for Columbia District on Friday.
Trump’s January 20 order, which he signed during his first hours, declares that the government only recognizes two species, men and women, and the federal dollars widely banned the Lord and his administration called “gender ideology”.
The order instructs Attorney General Palm Bondi and Homeland Security Cristy Noim to move women to men’s prisons and prevent BOP officials to stop the use of federal funds for gender-fascinating care. Three federal lawsuit tries to prevent the Trump administration from moving the trans women into men’s facilities.
A BOP memo issued on February 21 instructs transgender prisoners to “any items that align with transgender ideology, such as” chest binders and hair removal devices, and the prison staff to refer to the transcendence by “corresponding to their biological sexuality”. Another memo issued on February 28, 28 bars BOP funds used on transition related care.
Two transgender men and a transgender woman are leading the challenge to Trump’s order and new BOP policies in the mid -30s and in the early 40’s. Throughout the facilities in all three, New Jersey, Minnesota and Florida, BOP medical providers were diagnosed with gender dysphoria and were either suspended their hormone treatment or they were told that they would be suspended shortly.
Covering about 2,000 transgender people in prisons in federal jails across the country argues that their treatment violates the eighth reforms on cruel and abnormal punishment by denial of CRUEL.
The lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Transgender Law Center states that “the plaintiffs and the Putivative class members refuse the medical treatment for their gender dysfhoria, the defendants will cause effective treatment for serious medical treatment.”
The Supreme Court has organized for about half a century that the refusal of medical health care to the prisoners is a violation of their constitutional rights, and the federal jails offered the gender-indulgent care of the transactions under the Trump administration.
Koren Candric, Deputy Director of the ACLU National Jail Project, said the courts have taken over time and time that the Constitution requires that the prison provides medical and mental health care. “It is unconstitutional as it is unconstitutional for cancer patients or diabetes to ban chamotherapy for cancer patients or diabetes,” “President Trump’s executive orders in federal jails are just as unconstitutional as it is unconstitutional.
The issue was also played on the trail of the campaign last year, in which Trump condemned former Vice President Kamla Harris in prison or immigrant detention of his past support for the gender-conscious care of the transgender people.
“The people are not pawns in the ideological war – they are people who deserve the reach of serious medical care,” said ACLU’s senior staff attorney Michael Perloff.
The White House and a BOP spokesman did not immediately return the comment request.
