Trump Justice Department recruits transphobes with law degrees using $25,000 bonuses
"The Justice Department is offering $25,000 bonuses for attorneys interested in investigating youth transgender treatments, as well as for those enforcing President Trump's immigration policies."
"The number of attorneys working in the Justice Department dwindled from about 10,000 under the prior administration to 5,500 last November, according to the American Bar Association."
"Trump issued an executive order banning gender-related health care for anyone under age 19, targeting care for trans kids, including puberty blockers and hormone therapies."
"Federal courts have frequently rebuffed efforts to enforce the order as states resisted what they characterized as violations of transgender youth medical privacy."
The Justice Department is advertising $25,000 bonuses for attorneys focused on investigating youth transgender treatments and enforcing immigration policies. This initiative comes as the department faces a significant attorney shortage, dropping from 10,000 to 5,500 under the previous administration. Retention incentives of $60 to $220 per pay period are also being offered. The department has aggressively pursued information on gender-affirming care for minors, despite federal courts frequently rejecting enforcement efforts against state protections for transgender youth medical privacy.
