According to a report by Dailymail, Now lawyers are desperately trying to find a way to fight the order, saying the prisoners will have ‘a target on their backs’ as they move in with hardened male inmates.

Meltzer-Cohen said she fears there would be a ‘bloodbath’ if her client and other trans inmates are forced into male prisons.
The order declared that the government will only recognize two sexes – male and female. This means all ‘intimate spaces designated for women, girls, or females’ will be determined by sex rather than gender identity.
DailyMail.com also reported that an viewed email from a federal public defender in Massachusetts that was sent to colleagues nationally.
It stated that one of her clients imprisoned in Minnesota, a transgender woman, was among those rounded up and is ‘terrified’ of what will happen when they’re sent to male prisons.
