Judge stops Trump's controversial arrangement for trans women!

Washington, D.C., USA - A US judge has decided to stop the transfer of three transgender women in men's prisons until further notice. This is a direct reaction to a controversial decree by President Donald Trump, which causes excitement in the USA. According to information from krone.at , federal judge Royce Lamberth referred to the US constitution that prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. He explained that the women's prison for the women concerned was the appropriate facility and ordered the transfers to refrain in order to maintain the integrity and safety of the inmates. The women concerned also feared losing their medical treatment, which is essential for their quality of life.

The decree was signed by Trump's re -election on the first day and obliges the federal authorities to ensure that "men are not detained in women's prisons". According to AP news previously accommodated in women's prisons to take legal action against this measure. Although Trump emphasized that "men should not be imprisoned in women's prisons", the plaintiffs recognize that this could endanger their health and security. The lawyers argued that the planned transfer violates their constitutional guarantees for equality and protection against cruel punishment, in particular due to the high risk of violence and sexual assault in men's prisons.

Richter Lamberth and his decision symbolically stand for resistance to Trump's politics, which is often perceived as discriminatory. While only about 16 transgender women are housed in women's prisons, this situation shows the profound challenges and discrepancies with which the LGBTQ community is confronted in the prison system. The questions about identity and security in the prison system ultimately lead a light on the more comprehensive social struggles for acceptance and rights for transgender people.
