The Trump administration is pulling funding from the Maine Department of Corrections over a transgender woman who is being housed in a women’s prison, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview Tuesday.
"We pulled all nonessential funding from the Department of Corrections in Maine, because they were allowing a man in a woman's prison," Bondi told Fox News.
The inmate Bondi was referring to is Andrea Balcer, who was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2018 for the murder of her parents and family dog. Balcer’s attorney argued that she was going through a gender identity transformation and that her parents were not accepting. Balcer had no criminal record before the killings on Oct. 31, 2016, at her family home in Winthrop, Maine. She was 17 at the time.
