#PamBondi: #JusticeDepartment cut funding for #Maine corrections department over #transgender inmate

"The Justice Department revoked funding for the Maine Department of Corrections over the state’s placement of a transgender woman in a women’s prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.
"Bondi made the announcement during an interview with Fox News, saying the department pulled all 'nonessential' funding from the state corrections department on Monday after federal officials learned 'a guy' was serving time in one of the state’s two women’s facilities. Bondi said the inmate was convicted of murder.
"The loss in funding for the department totaled upward of $1.5 million, according to Fox News. The Justice Department did not return a request for comment.
"In a news release, Maine’s corrections department said it received formal notice from the Department of Justice on Monday that certain federal grants 'are being terminated because they ‘no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities.' The cuts will impact state-run initiatives related to #SubstanceAbuseTreatment and support for #children with incarcerated parents, the corrections department said.
"The notice from the Justice Department, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill, does not mention transgender inmates. 'While the Department is aware of related public statements by the United States Attorney General, the notice is the only communication that has been received by the Department,' Maine’s corrections department said.
"The move by the Justice Department is the latest development in a monthlong battle between the Trump administration and Maine over the state’s refusal to ban transgender student-athletes from girls’ and women’s sports as ordered by the president."
