It would allow the city to solicit private donations to fund things like an emergency drop-in center and shelter beds, a tenant of Lurie’s campaign platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a candidate for mayor, I promised San Franciscans that I would work in partnership with the Board of Supervisors to take action on the critical issues facing our city,” Lurie said. “As mayor, I am proud to be delivering on that promise today.

The suit claims that the order is in violation of federal law, which requires the U.S. to allow people to enter the country to apply for asylum and prohibits the government from returning people to a country where they face the threat of persecution or torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the Proclamation, the government is doing just what Congress by statute decreed that the United States must not do. It is returning asylum seekers — not just single adults, but families too — to countries where they face persecution or torture, without allowing them to invoke the protections Congress has provided,” the suit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s order relies on Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which says that the president can “suspend the entry” of non-citizens when their entry “would be detrimental to the interest of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order classifies immigration at the southern border as an “invasion” and says that under Article IV of the Constitution, the president has the responsibility to protect the country. Trump has ordered the Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of State and Attorney General to block asylum seekers from entering the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit argues that Trump has not given a definition of an invasion and that immigration at any scale would not be considered one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12024922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12024922\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Anna Monkeymaker/Getty)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The invasion provision of the Constitution has in the past been used in wartime,” said Melissa Crow, the director of litigation for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies. “We are alleging that [Trump] is abusing his authority, both because there’s not an invasion and because there are numerous separate provisions of the immigration law that give people who are either physically present in the United States or who arrive in the United States the right to apply for asylum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act prevent the U.S. from removing people who have reached ports of entry or entered the country without inspection. The law says that anyone who does arrive is entitled to apply for asylum and prohibits the country from removing non-citizens to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened or returning them to a country where the U.S. believes they would be in danger of being tortured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025063 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/081723_Assembly-Floor-File_SN_CM-05-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as we can tell, under the terms of the proclamation, these people will be expelled from the United States without any process,” Crow said. “Immigration laws provide a very specific process that people have to go through before they can be removed or deported from the United States. That is not happening here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, asylum seekers who arrive without valid documents, like a visa, are entitled to an interview with an asylum officer to determine if they have a “credible fear” of returning to the country from which they fled. If fear is established, they are eligible for a full hearing. Immigration judges decide whether to grant asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s order calls for the suspension of that process entirely, including for unaccompanied children who previously had additional protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the U.S. began putting constraints on the flow of asylum seekers through metering. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials began “turnbacks” when people “were simply told that there wasn’t capacity to process them,” Crow told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the issue isn’t so much that too many people are arriving at the border but that the immigration system hasn’t been bolstered to process people in a reasonable amount of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Gender and Refugee Studies and other legal providers have been litigating the metering policy for years, alleging that it violates federal and international law. Now, they are also fighting the new order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are going to keep coming because they are fleeing for their lives,” she said. “The fact that they’re going to be turned back is something they’re only going to realize when they get here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Feb. 5: This story’s headline was updated to distinguish the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies from the full UC Law San Francisco college.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Sally was this lesbian separatist [who] always had men in her life. She studied theater. She studied communication. She was a brilliant debater. She taught women’s studies and co-founded one of the first-ever women’s studies departments. She wrote fantasy novels. She moved full-time up to this women’s land community that she had co-created. She is extremely hard to pin down. The best way to say it is she’s really an amazing Renaissance woman who was always interested in everything and curious about everything and had very strong and radical opinions but also kept an open mind and was willing to change her mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020642\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2392px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020642 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2392\" height=\"1890\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig.png 2392w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-800x632.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1020x806.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-160x126.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1536x1214.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-2048x1618.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1920x1517.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2392px) 100vw, 2392px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvey Milk and Sally Gearhart. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Deborah Craig)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why make this film now? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt a sense of urgency because, by the time I met Sally, she was either 83 or 84. She was living alone. She had health issues, she had memory decline. And it felt like if we want to do this story, we need to do it now. But the other thing we felt [was] that [her] story is relevant now because we’re fighting those same battles. And it’s even more relevant after the election. There’s so much pushback in this country against women’s rights, against gay rights, against trans rights, etc. So this is not just a story about what happened in the past, and acknowledging the part that Sally played back then. It’s a story about how to fight for social justice. And Sally, as imperfect as she is, is such a beautiful role model of how to do that. And in fact, her imperfection makes her a role model in my mind, because there are no perfect heroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020647\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1088px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020647 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1088\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg 1088w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-800x636.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-1020x811.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-160x127.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1088px) 100vw, 1088px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvey Milk and Sally Gearhart. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Steve Savage)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sally Gearhart was instrumental in working with Harvey Milk to defeat Proposition 6, which would have banned gay people from working in public schools.

And Sally, I guess depending on whether we channeled Sally in her 40s or 50s or 60s or 80s, would be either ready to step up on the podium and speak up or would want other people to step up and take the baton. I really hope that this film makes young people motivated to step up and get involved, and fight the kind of fights that we’re going to need to fight. And realize that fighting for social justice can be not just a slog but an adventure. It can be fun and exciting, and [we] can approach it with a spirit of kind of can-do-ness and curiosity.

Sally was this lesbian separatist [who] always had men in her life. She studied theater. She studied communication. She was a brilliant debater. She taught women’s studies and co-founded one of the first-ever women’s studies departments. She wrote fantasy novels. She moved full-time up to this women’s land community that she had co-created. She is extremely hard to pin down. The best way to say it is she’s really an amazing Renaissance woman who was always interested in everything and curious about everything and had very strong and radical opinions but also kept an open mind and was willing to change her mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020642\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2392px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020642 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2392\" height=\"1890\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig.png 2392w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-800x632.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1020x806.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-160x126.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1536x1214.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-2048x1618.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig-1920x1517.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2392px) 100vw, 2392px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvey Milk and Sally Gearhart. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Deborah Craig)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why make this film now? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt a sense of urgency because, by the time I met Sally, she was either 83 or 84. She was living alone. She had health issues, she had memory decline. And it felt like if we want to do this story, we need to do it now. But the other thing we felt [was] that [her] story is relevant now because we’re fighting those same battles. And it’s even more relevant after the election. There’s so much pushback in this country against women’s rights, against gay rights, against trans rights, etc. So this is not just a story about what happened in the past, and acknowledging the part that Sally played back then. It’s a story about how to fight for social justice. And Sally, as imperfect as she is, is such a beautiful role model of how to do that. And in fact, her imperfection makes her a role model in my mind, because there are no perfect heroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020647\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1088px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12020647 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1088\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage.jpg 1088w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-800x636.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-1020x811.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Harvey-Milk-and-Sally-Gearhart-Photo-Credit_-Steve-Savage-160x127.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1088px) 100vw, 1088px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvey Milk and Sally Gearhart. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Steve Savage)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sally Gearhart was instrumental in working with Harvey Milk to defeat Proposition 6, which would have banned gay people from working in public schools.

There are so many battles that were fought that we need to re-fight. And Sally, I guess depending on whether we channeled Sally in her 40s or 50s or 60s or 80s, would be either ready to step up on the podium and speak up or would want other people to step up and take the baton. I really hope that this film makes young people motivated to step up and get involved, and fight the kind of fights that we’re going to need to fight. And realize that fighting for social justice can be not just a slog but an adventure. It can be fun and exciting, and [we] can approach it with a spirit of kind of can-do-ness and curiosity.

He will deliver and restore safety and security for American women,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said of the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmer said that when she read the order, she felt it “undermined, if not directly contradicts, what the Supreme Court found in my case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmer, who now runs the prison advocacy organization Fight4Justice, said she viewed the order “as an infringement upon the right to be safe from sexual assault.” She and other formerly incarcerated trans women, as well as advocates fighting on behalf of transgender people, say this order poses a serious risk to the health and safety of the thousands of transgender people behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For supporters of the order, including the Alliance Defending Freedom, a self-described conservative Christian legal advocacy group, it’s a much-needed change to standards that put cisgender women in female facilities in danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re very pleased to see President Trump restore sanity to this issue and to make sure that we have a proper understanding of sex and that that understanding flows down to schools, prisons, other places where the privacy and safety of women are paramount,” said Matt Sharp, senior counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, questions have emerged over whether the order can withstand legal challenges. A sealed complaint \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/transgender-inmate-sues-over-trumps-order-curtailing-lgbt-rights-2025-01-27/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filed Sunday\u003c/a> by a transgender inmate incarcerated in a federal facility has already claimed the order is unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This executive order flies in the face of a lot of really well-established law around sex discrimination and around cruel and unusual punishment,” said Bobby Hodgson, the assistant legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, who works on civil rights and civil liberties cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Trump administration is already moving trans prisoners and immigrants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>D Dangaran, director of Gender Justice at Rights Behind Bars, told NPR that several trans people in federal facilities are already being separated from the general population as they prepare to be moved to a prison that doesn’t align with their gender identity — at great risk to their physical and mental well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Prisons said there are 1,529 transgender females in BOP custody and 744 transgender males.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Trump’s order only explicitly mentions the rehousing of transgender women, not transgender men, Dangaran said their organization “has already received reports from our clients that trans people — trans men and trans women — have been told they will no longer receive hormone therapy or other gender-affirming care. They are being rounded up and moved to unknown facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Prisons didn’t immediately respond to questions on this allegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dangaran added, “Trans men usually are housed with women, and trans women have fought to be housed with women, too, where it is safest. We can expect trans women to be moved to men’s facilities if they aren’t already there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, the executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, said trans immigrants are also being affected by this new order. Trump launched a broad crackdown \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5276139/trump-immigration-border-orders-blueprint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on immigration\u003c/a> as soon as he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see a particularly dark period ahead of us where immigration detention facilities won’t meaningfully step up to support detainees, including the most vulnerable,” Espinoza-Madrigal said. In the past, trans detainees would find difficulty accessing gender-affirming clothing and health care, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the concern is now that these inconsistencies will lead to a cascade of harm as more and more protections, policies and practices are either rescinded or replaced with harsher measures” that particularly harm those who don’t conform to traditional gender norms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When forced to stay in prisons based on their assigned sex at birth or genitalia at the time they were arrested, transgender inmates\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>often face a greater risk of assault. A \u003ca href=\"https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS%20Full%20Report%20-%20FINAL%201.6.17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 study found\u003c/a> that 1 in 5 trans inmates was sexually assaulted by staff or other inmates in the prior year, a rate vastly exceeding that of the general U.S. prison population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, in defense of the executive order, sent NPR links to two \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> articles citing allegations of cisgender women being assaulted by two prisoners who were trans. The White House didn’t respond to questions about what the plan is for moving prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can this order withstand legal challenges?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Farmer’s 1994 case has been cited in lawsuits filed by transgender individuals incarcerated in state and federal prisons alleging abuse, failures by prison staff to provide gender-affirming care and to demand a move to a prison that aligns with their gender identity. And those cases \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/10/25/1130146647/transgender-inmates-gender-affirming-health-care-lawsuits-prison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have been the driving force\u003c/a> in slowly changing state and county-level policies to allow prisoners to be housed in facilities that align with their gender identity and to access gender-affirming health care. Many courts have sided with the trans prisoners in forcing those changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, a federal judge in Illinois \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu-il.org/en/press-releases/landmark-settlement-federal-bureau-prisons-agrees-provide-first-ever-gender-affirming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered the Bureau of Prisons\u003c/a> to provide gender-affirming surgery for a transgender inmate after finding that denying the procedure was likely a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University, said with the existing case law and the U.S. Constitution on trans inmates’ side, the executive order is unlikely to withstand legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Constitution requires prison officials to house prisoners in a safe and secure environment and to provide necessary medical treatment to them,” Cole said. “The Executive Order is not the exercise of professional judgment by prison officials with respect to any individual prisoner as to what he or she needs, but an ideological mandate imposed for political reasons, not security reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates, including Dangaran and Hodgson, say Trump’s order also appears to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (because gender dysphoria is recognized as a disability under the ADA) and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.prearesourcecenter.org/sites/default/files/content/prisonsandjailsfinalstandards_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)\u003c/a>, a 2003 law that requires federal, state and local correctional facilities to enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual assault against inmates and requires housing assignments for trans inmates to be made on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sharp, with the Alliance Defending Freedom, said there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1995/94-1941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also legal precedent\u003c/a> about the authority of the government to “maintain sex-specific spaces,” especially when privacy and safety are a concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not to say we can’t accommodate individuals who identify as transgender, providing them single-user spaces that they can have their privacy respected as well, but it should never come at the cost of the privacy and safety of women in these facilities,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmer said she is confident that Trump’s order will not stand and that “justice for humanity will always prevail.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

They are being rounded up and moved to unknown facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Prisons didn’t immediately respond to questions on this allegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dangaran added, “Trans men usually are housed with women, and trans women have fought to be housed with women, too, where it is safest. We can expect trans women to be moved to men’s facilities if they aren’t already there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, the executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, said trans immigrants are also being affected by this new order. Trump launched a broad crackdown \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5276139/trump-immigration-border-orders-blueprint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on immigration\u003c/a> as soon as he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see a particularly dark period ahead of us where immigration detention facilities won’t meaningfully step up to support detainees, including the most vulnerable,” Espinoza-Madrigal said. In the past, trans detainees would find difficulty accessing gender-affirming clothing and health care, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the concern is now that these inconsistencies will lead to a cascade of harm as more and more protections, policies and practices are either rescinded or replaced with harsher measures” that particularly harm those who don’t conform to traditional gender norms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When forced to stay in prisons based on their assigned sex at birth or genitalia at the time they were arrested, transgender inmates\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>often face a greater risk of assault. A \u003ca href=\"https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS%20Full%20Report%20-%20FINAL%201.6.17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 study found\u003c/a> that 1 in 5 trans inmates was sexually assaulted by staff or other inmates in the prior year, a rate vastly exceeding that of the general U.S. prison population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, in defense of the executive order, sent NPR links to two \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> articles citing allegations of cisgender women being assaulted by two prisoners who were trans. The White House didn’t respond to questions about what the plan is for moving prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can this order withstand legal challenges?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Farmer’s 1994 case has been cited in lawsuits filed by transgender individuals incarcerated in state and federal prisons alleging abuse, failures by prison staff to provide gender-affirming care and to demand a move to a prison that aligns with their gender identity. And those cases \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/10/25/1130146647/transgender-inmates-gender-affirming-health-care-lawsuits-prison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have been the driving force\u003c/a> in slowly changing state and county-level policies to allow prisoners to be housed in facilities that align with their gender identity and to access gender-affirming health care. Many courts have sided with the trans prisoners in forcing those changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, a federal judge in Illinois \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu-il.org/en/press-releases/landmark-settlement-federal-bureau-prisons-agrees-provide-first-ever-gender-affirming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered the Bureau of Prisons\u003c/a> to provide gender-affirming surgery for a transgender inmate after finding that denying the procedure was likely a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University, said with the existing case law and the U.S. Constitution on trans inmates’ side, the executive order is unlikely to withstand legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Constitution requires prison officials to house prisoners in a safe and secure environment and to provide necessary medical treatment to them,” Cole said. “The Executive Order is not the exercise of professional judgment by prison officials with respect to any individual prisoner as to what he or she needs, but an ideological mandate imposed for political reasons, not security reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates, including Dangaran and Hodgson, say Trump’s order also appears to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (because gender dysphoria is recognized as a disability under the ADA) and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.prearesourcecenter.org/sites/default/files/content/prisonsandjailsfinalstandards_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)\u003c/a>, a 2003 law that requires federal, state and local correctional facilities to enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual assault against inmates and requires housing assignments for trans inmates to be made on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sharp, with the Alliance Defending Freedom, said there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1995/94-1941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also legal precedent\u003c/a> about the authority of the government to “maintain sex-specific spaces,” especially when privacy and safety are a concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not to say we can’t accommodate individuals who identify as transgender, providing them single-user spaces that they can have their privacy respected as well, but it should never come at the cost of the privacy and safety of women in these facilities,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The deadline to opt in is Feb. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody is taking the bait,” said a Department of Labor employee during a lunch break. “I enjoy being able to protect workers, and I’m not going to — for a few months of paid work — give up a job that I love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Office of Personnel Management \u003ca href=\"https://www.opm.gov/fork\">email\u003c/a>, sent to roughly 2 million civil servants starting Tuesday, warned most federal agencies are likely to be downsized, including through workforce cuts. The missive promised those who replied with the word “Resign” would keep all pay and benefits through Sept. 30, 2025, or an earlier resignation date they choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A longtime EPA employee said the ominous message was suspicious and upsetting to her and co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a typical buyout. All of the ‘Oh, we are going to be reducing, consolidating, who knows what’s going to happen to your agency, so you better resign,’ that’s sort of a threat,” said the staffer. “But if you do take this offer, are we even guaranteed what you are offering?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 800,000 nurses, park rangers, social security professionals and other workers at most federal agencies, encouraged its members on Wednesday not to quit or respond to the email until further clarification. Democrats, including Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.yahoo.com/news/sen-kaine-claims-trump-stiff-175344217.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKVsy24uQqbKbLjrpDSEHshM6MXXOJ4muCLi7fop---oeI4m6OWBdJJ43VoVe-Y5GT0kh2dZoILgzA3gk7SjWrDMmSTciA0cHbCsfx6zosweVVI7Je-SMhib2v-sbyLoUQ-_zXVHUVG_dpgZuM9dZAkowiy-857igKxcnQR2IgcW\">Tim Kaine\u003c/a> and former Labor Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://robertreich.substack.com/p/some-free-advice-to-federal-workers\">Robert Reich,\u003c/a> have also urged civil servants to refuse the offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is not yet any evidence the administration can or will uphold its end of the bargain, that Congress will go along with this unilateral massive restructuring, or that appropriated funds can be used this way, among other issues that have been raised,” said the \u003ca href=\"http://www.afge1647.org/index.cfm?zone=/unionactive/view_article.cfm&homeID=933891\">AFGE letter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. military personnel, postal service workers, and those in jobs related to immigration enforcement and national security are not targeted by the deferred resignation request.[aside postID=news_12024454 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/05162019_Trump_qed.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes as Trump ordered changes to make it easier to terminate tens of thousands of federal workers who make or advocate for policy, a move that experts said is meant to strengthen his control over the executive branch. This week, some probationary employees with one or two years of service in some federal agencies also received an \u003ca href=\"https://prospect.org/labor/2025-01-29-probationary-employees-targeted-for-mass-purge/\">email\u003c/a> reminding them they can be immediately fired because they have weaker job protections than co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/data-analysis-documentation/federal-employment-reports/reports-publications/federal-civilian-employment/\">152,000\u003c/a> civil service employees are based in California. Among non-postal civil agencies, the Department of Veterans Affairs employs the most people — nearly \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/\">500,000\u003c/a>, according to the Pew Research Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPM said employees who agree to deferred resignation won’t be expected to work except in rare cases, according to a frequently asked questions \u003ca href=\"https://www.opm.gov/fork/faq\">webpage\u003c/a>. But the program’s language varies in different documents, and it remains unclear whether staffers would continue to work, be assigned to other jobs, or keep getting a paycheck, said Bethany Dreyfus, president of AFGE Local 1236, which represents EPA employees based in San Francisco and Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employees at EPA and at other federal agencies, they’re in these jobs because they’re committed to serving the American people and the mission of their agencies,” said Dreyfus, adding that EPA workers are engaged in vital tasks such as helping to clean up hazardous materials from the Los Angeles fires and training first responders on how to react to potential radiation emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This idea that they would just take a deferred retirement, whatever that might mean, is distressing and a bit offensive to what they’ve committed their careers to,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An employee at the Department of the Interior in the Bay Area worried about the greater impact on critical government functions for the public if the administration massively slashes the workforce. He wondered what would happen to the research and other positions needed to alert the public about a dangerous earthquake, hurricane or volcano eruption coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There doesn’t even seem to be recognition for the fact that we are all doing jobs that have civic value and are not things that the private sector does or would ever do because there’s no financial incentive,” he said. “We are doing this because we want to work on science for the public good. That makes the political overtones of this that much more painful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

This week, some probationary employees with one or two years of service in some federal agencies also received an \u003ca href=\"https://prospect.org/labor/2025-01-29-probationary-employees-targeted-for-mass-purge/\">email\u003c/a> reminding them they can be immediately fired because they have weaker job protections than co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/data-analysis-documentation/federal-employment-reports/reports-publications/federal-civilian-employment/\">152,000\u003c/a> civil service employees are based in California. Among non-postal civil agencies, the Department of Veterans Affairs employs the most people — nearly \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/\">500,000\u003c/a>, according to the Pew Research Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPM said employees who agree to deferred resignation won’t be expected to work except in rare cases, according to a frequently asked questions \u003ca href=\"https://www.opm.gov/fork/faq\">webpage\u003c/a>. But the program’s language varies in different documents, and it remains unclear whether staffers would continue to work, be assigned to other jobs, or keep getting a paycheck, said Bethany Dreyfus, president of AFGE Local 1236, which represents EPA employees based in San Francisco and Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employees at EPA and at other federal agencies, they’re in these jobs because they’re committed to serving the American people and the mission of their agencies,” said Dreyfus, adding that EPA workers are engaged in vital tasks such as helping to clean up hazardous materials from the Los Angeles fires and training first responders on how to react to potential radiation emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This idea that they would just take a deferred retirement, whatever that might mean, is distressing and a bit offensive to what they’ve committed their careers to,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An employee at the Department of the Interior in the Bay Area worried about the greater impact on critical government functions for the public if the administration massively slashes the workforce. He wondered what would happen to the research and other positions needed to alert the public about a dangerous earthquake, hurricane or volcano eruption coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There doesn’t even seem to be recognition for the fact that we are all doing jobs that have civic value and are not things that the private sector does or would ever do because there’s no financial incentive,” he said. “We are doing this because we want to work on science for the public good. That makes the political overtones of this that much more painful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It would give the mayor’s office and certain city departments permission to sidestep the Board of Supervisors’ approval on some city contracts and allow for soliciting private donations to support efforts to combat the fentanyl epidemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s legislative analyst warned that the changes would come with “significant risks,” but Lurie, supervisors and members of the recovery community said the ordinance is necessary as the city faces an unprecedented drug and homelessness crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People in San Francisco are suffering,” Lurie said during a rally ahead of the committee hearing. “Every day that we don’t act is another day of life lost to addiction, to overdose and to despair. Our response must be just as urgent as the crisis that we are facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
