A federal investigation is underway into conditions inside women’s prisons in California. The U.S. Department of Justice says it is examining whether housing policies involving transgender-identifying inmates may be creating safety risks for female prisoners. The probe follows reports of sexual assaults, attempted rapes, and other concerns at facilities in Chino and Chowchilla. The review comes after a 2021 state law signed by Gavin Newsom allowing inmates to request housing based on gender identity.rump administration is digging into admissions practices at three major medical schools over possible race-based discrimination concerns. Investigators are focusing on Stanford University, Ohio State University, and University of California San Diego. They’re asking for seven years of records, including applicant race, test scores, donor connections, and anything tied to diversity and equity programs. Schools have until April 24 to hand over the data.
