The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strongly rebuked a Biden-appointed federal judge in Oregon this week after she ordered the release of a transgender Mexican national from a male-only Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. The detainee, Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez, is a biological male who identifies as a woman and entered the United States illegally in 2023.
A transgender inmate serving a 55-year sentence for the 2001 killing of an 11-month-old stepdaughter has filed a $3.5 million lawsuit against President Trump, alleging that his policies and rhetoric led to multiple sexual assaults while incarcerated.
