Trump Yanks Funding From Maine’s Corrections Department

For refusing to remove male inmate from women’s prison.

The Justice Department has pulled all nonessential federal funding from Maine’s Department of Corrections over a trans-identifying man who is being housed in a women’s prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.
Andrew Balcer, 26, a trans-identifying convicted double murderer is currently housed in a women’s prison in Maine.
“We pulled all nonessential funding from the Department of Corrections in Maine because they were allowing a man in a women’s prison,” Bondi said Tuesday. “A giant, 6-foot-1, 245-pound guy, who committed a double murder with a knife, stabbed his parents to death and the family dog, and he identified as a woman, so they were letting him be housed in a female prison.”
“No longer,” she added. “We will pull your funding. We will protect women in prison.”
Maine’s Department of Corrections is slated to lose more than $1 million in federal grants.
Trans-identifying males in women’s prisons have become increasingly common. One trans-identifying male prisoner in New Jersey who was convicted of manslaughter was only transferred out of a women’s prison after he impregnated two female inmates
