A part of the transgender craze that swept across America in recent years, boosted by Joe Biden’s complete advocacy for the anti-science agenda, is that men sentenced to prison suddenly say they are women in order to be housed in a women’s prison.
Multiple states have done this, but now the Department of Justice has begun investigating the scheme being used by California to put biological men in women’s correctional facilities.
The move comes after a federal judge endorsed the that political plan.
A report in the Washington Examiner explains DOJ officials have notified California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, their investigation will decide whether the state’s “Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act” violates the constitutional rights of female inmates.
“The Trump Administration will not stand by if governors are facilitating the abuse of biological women under the guise of inclusion,” Pam Bond, the attorney general, announced.
“Our Constitution protects women from having their civil rights violated by harmful state legislation wrapped in the language of ‘equity’ and ‘progress,’” added Bill Essayli, first Assistant U.S. Attorney of the Central District of California.

Such agendas already have been condemned by President Donald Trump.
Trump signed an executive order banning men from being housed in women’s prisons. Many female inmates have been victims of sexual assault in prison by mentally ill men pretending to be women.

Women in the state have raised complaints that they have been deprived of equal protection and constitutional guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment by having men assigned to their prisons, the report said.
The federal government is investigating California under the authority of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
The DOJ is raising questions over widespread reports of sexual assault, rape and voyeurism at California prisons where state officials have insisted on housing males with females.
Federal officials also are looking into similar offenses being delivered against female inmates in Maine, the report said.
Newsom signed into law in 2020 a scheme to put males in prisons for women, “regardless of biological reality,” the report said.
Since then more than 1,000 men have insisted they want to be housed with women.
It was a decision by Judge Jennifer Thurston, an appointee of Joe Biden, who dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Women’s Liberation Front on behalf of imprisoned women.
Thurston admitted the alleged injuries are “concrete and person” but claimed the plaintiffs failed to establish “the necessary chain of cause and effect.’
Advocates for women who are being victimized said some imprisoned women have set up sleeping shifts when a male is present, so “someone is always on watch,” the report said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, of the DOJ’s civil rights division, said the DOJ actually is collecting information on the abuses brought on by housing men in women’s prisons across the country.
