Trump Signs Executive Order Ending Federal Funding for Medical Mutilation of Minors

Mia Cathell / Townhall Tipsheet

Under President Donald Trump, the United States will no longer "fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support" the medical mutilation and chemical castration of children in the name of gender ideology. Accordingly, the federal government will "rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures."

Trump signed an executive order Tuesday ending federal funding for the medical "transitioning" of gender dysphoric children, including performing irreversible surgeries and the prescription of chemically castrating drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

According to Trump's decree, "Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation's history, and it must end." Read more, and see Xs here.

DeSantis Criticizes State Legislature for Opposition to Immigration Bill

Jeremy Frankel / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) sharply criticized his state’s legislature, since it seems to be grandstanding and opposing his calling for a special session to help implement President Trump’s agenda, even though the legislature is dominated by Republicans.

“Though the Florida legislature’s leadership initially said the call for a special session on immigration enforcement was ‘premature,’ they have now finally agreed to come in and do their job. I am glad the Legislature’s bill includes many of my proposals, including the long-overdue need to eliminate tuition waivers for illegal immigrant students,” DeSantis said. “But overall, their new bill is substantially weaker than the proposals I outlined and that are necessary to ensure that Florida leads on fulfilling the Trump Administration’s mandate to enforce immigration law and deport illegal aliens.”

The weakened bill from the legislature, DeSantis said, does not “put an enforceable duty on state & local law enforcement to fully cooperate on illegal immigration enforcement,” meaning that “Florida localities will provide no meaningful assistance to federal efforts.”
