Judge blocks Trump-ordered transfer of transgender women inmates to male prisons

A federal judge halted the transfer of three transgender inmates to a male prison facility under an executive order by President Donald Trump defining biological sex for housing policies.
Judge Royce Lamberth issued a preliminary injunction against the executive order, highlighting issues regarding self-determined gender identity.
Plaintiffs argued that transferring them would expose them to violence and harassment in male facilities, echoing concerns raised in a previous case involving an inmate in Massachusetts.
Lamberth noted that the plaintiffs' claims regarding cruel and unusual punishment would likely succeed, emphasizing the risks associated with housing transgender individuals in male-only prisons.
