Transgender inmates join ACLU’s lawsuit to continue taxpayer-funded procedures

Several transgender inmates, including a convicted MS-13 gang member, are lining up to join a class action lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union to prevent the Trump administration’s implementation of a new prison policy that would cut off their access to taxpayer-funded sex change procedures, such as breast implants and genital surgeries.

Plaintiffs in the case Kingdom v. Trump successfully secured a preliminary injunction in June that partially blocks the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive order on “Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
