Rae Rollins, transgender woman in New Jersey was moved to an all-male prison after filing a lawsuit alleging abuse at her facility, and seeking transfer to another prison that houses women, according to her lawyer.
Rae Rollins, 25, is a trans woman, and is listed in the New Jersey Department of Corrections offender database as a woman. She filed suit against the department and several officials and officers in March, saying she was one of several inmates attacked by corrections officers in January and February at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton. The suit sought damages and a transfer out of Edna Mahan to a county facility that could house women.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
