Trump Bars Transgender Women From U.S. Prisons for Female Inmates

President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring transgender women from being housed in women's prisons, requiring that males are not detained in those facilities.
The order also prohibits federal funds from being used for medical procedures that would alter an inmate's appearance to that of the opposite sex.
Approximately 1% of federal prison inmates identify as transgender, with only 10 out of 1,300 trans women housed in female prisons in 2023.
The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the order as discriminatory, arguing it threatens the safety and rights of transgender individuals.
