Federal Judge Blocks Trump Attempt To Remove Biological Males From Women’s Prisons

Why such a plan to remove men from women's-only detention facilities should spark controversy, no reasonable person can be certain. But, as Goldsmith noted at the close of his January 27 piece, the battle over incarcerated “trans” people is just one of many facets of federal sentencing, prison operations, and jurisprudence that all collectivized policing systems introduce. On a philosophical level, any collectivist system forces together people who have differing opinions as to how that system should operate.

And February 4, D.C.-based U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth expressed some of those differing opinions as he issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s order.
