Trump to Crack Down on Transgender Inmates as New Prisons Chief Named

President Donald Trump is poised to enforce a crackdown on transgender inmates to ensure that men are not placed in female-only facilities.

Trump’s administration has just named a new interim director to lead the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

The move paves the way for plans to mandate that inmates must only be housed in facilities that match their biological sex.

William W. Lothrop was tapped as the new BOP director.

Lothrop was appointed after Colette Peters resigned on Inauguration Day.

It’s unclear when the Trump administration will appoint someone to fill the role permanently.

In a statement, Lothrop said:

“As we face ongoing challenges, including staffing shortages and operational issues, I am committed to working alongside you to find real solutions that strengthen our facilities.

“We will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners and stakeholders to maintain robust programming and support services for inmates.”

On his first day in office, Trump announced a temporary hiring freeze for federal positions.

He also reversed former President Joe Biden’s ban on private prisons.

Trump’s executive order, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” defines sex strictly as male or female and only based on biological characteristics.

The order mandates that federal agencies adopt this definition in their policies and practices.

The order specifies that individuals should be housed in federal prisons according to their biological sex rather than their “gender identity.”

The new rule will apply to the 2,300 transgender inmates currently housed in federal prisons across the country.

It also halts federal taxpayer funding for transgender procedures and treatments for inmates.

“The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex,” the order reads.

During the Biden administration, several U.S. states implemented policies allowing transgender inmates to be housed in facilities that align with their “gender identity.”

In 2021, California became the first state to enact a policy permitting transgender inmates to request housing based on their gender identity.

Since then, the state has seen a significant increase in such requests, with a 234% rise in the transgender inmate population.

However, the vast majority of these requests have been made by men claiming to be “women,” and not vice-versa.

In January 2022, New York State revised its policies to allow transgender individuals to choose their prison housing.

And Colorado reached a legal settlement to house biological men in women’s facilities last year.

The settlement was part of a case involving 400 men who claim to be transgender “women.”

Multiple cases have been previously reported involving male inmates, serving sentences for sexual assault, murder, and other violent offenses, in federal prisons being transferred to women’s facilities.

Many of them have received taxpayer-funded medical procedures to medically “transition” genders.

In several instances, male criminals have only claimed to be “transgender” after they have been arrested and charged.

Lothrop, who was formerly the BOP deputy director, is replacing Peters, who was appointed by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022.

Peters was touted as a reform-minded outsider tasked with rebuilding an agency plagued for years by staff shortages, widespread corruption, misconduct, and abuse.

The agency has nearly 36,000 employees and is responsible for more than 155,000 federal inmates.

The BOP director is not subject to Senate confirmation, according to the legal news service Law 360.

During her tenure, Peters appeared before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Peters spoke about the challenges the BOP faced, but she had trouble getting results.

During the end of Trump’s campaign, he pledged he would crack down on left-wing gender ideology.

Trump ran a successful ad campaign exposing his opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, for her role in ushering in sex change procedures for incarcerated people in California.

“Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you,” the narrator of Trump’s campaign advertisement said.

Harris also supported taxpayer-funded medical treatments and other perks for transgender inmates.
