A federal judge is accusing the Trump administration of blatantly ignoring his court order mandating that transgender women be housed in women’s prisons — now, ten of them are locked in a segregated unit in Texas, eight of whom are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The government claims they’re complying by not forcing them to live with cisgender women, but the judge calls that a loophole and says the move violates his ruling — and is worsening their mental health. The inmates’ lawyer says it’s cruel and unusual punishment, a sneaky enforcement of the controversial executive order that bans gender-affirming care. The government urges internal prison complaints first, but the judge is skeptical — this could be a major legal showdown.
