<p>The Justice Department has pulled all nonessential federal funding from Maine&#8217;s Department of Corrections over a trans-identifying man who is being housed in a women&#8217;s prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.</p>
<p>Andrew Balcer, 26, a trans-identifying <a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/courts-and-crime/2018-12-04/winthrop-teen-who-killed-parents-dog-to-be-sentenced" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> double murderer is currently <a href="https://apps1.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/correctionssearch/detail.pl?mdoc_number1=156589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">housed</a> in a women&#8217;s prison in Maine.</p>
<p>&#8220;We pulled all nonessential funding from the Department of Corrections in Maine because they were allowing a man in a women&#8217;s prison,&#8221; Bondi said Tuesday. &#8220;A giant, 6-foot-1, 245-pound guy, who committed a double murder with a knife, stabbed his parents to death and the family dog, and he identified as a woman, so they were letting him be housed in a female prison.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No longer,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We will pull your funding. We will protect women in prison.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maine&#8217;s Department of Corrections is slated to lose more than $1 million in federal grants.</p>
<p>In February, Bondi sent a letter to Maine officials warning them to stop allowing trans-identifying males in women&#8217;s sports or face legal action. She sent similar letters to California and Minnesota.</p>
<p>“We will leverage every legal option necessary to ensure state compliance with federal law and President Trump’s executive order protecting women’s sports,” Bondi <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pamela-bondi-urges-states-comply-federal-law-keeping-men-out-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.</p>
<p>Bondi&#8217;s letter came just after President Donald Trump had a tense back and forth with Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, at a White House dinner. Trump warned Mills that her state would lose federal funding if it refused to comply with his executive order protecting women&#8217;s sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;You better do it because you&#8217;re not gonna get any federal funding,&#8221; Trump told Mills. &#8220;Your population doesn&#8217;t want men playing in women&#8217;s sports.&#8221;</p>

<p>TRUMP: &quot;You better do it because you&#39;re not gonna get any federal funding &#8230; your population doesn&#39;t want men playing in women&#39;s sports.&quot;<a href="https://t.co/UrqDl65nLx">pic.twitter.com/UrqDl65nLx</a></p>

<p>Since then, Maine is facing federal action on other fronts over gender ideology as well.</p>
<p>The federal Department of Agriculture froze Maine&#8217;s funds over the state continuing to allow trans-identifying males to play in women&#8217;s sports. Maine&#8217;s attorney general responded by suing the Department of Agriculture over the funding freeze.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services have <a href="https://mainemorningstar.com/briefs/u-s-justice-department-cuts-maine-corrections-grants-allegedly-over-transgender-policy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Maine&#8217;s transgender sports policies violate Title IX.</p>
<p>The Education Department has given Maine until April 11 to submit a solution before the situation is referred to the Justice Department.</p>
<p>Also last week, the Education Department launched a new task force targeting the &#8220;staggering&#8221; number of Title IX complaints the administration is receiving. Investigators and Justice Department attorneys will look into potential violations.</p>
<p>Trans-identifying males in women&#8217;s prisons have become increasingly common. One trans-identifying male prisoner in New Jersey who was convicted of manslaughter was only <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/nj-trans-prisoner-impregnated-2-inmates-transferred-mens-facility-rcna38947" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transferred</a> out of a women&#8217;s prison after he impregnated two female inmates.</p>
