Imprisoned MS-13 gang member sues Trump, Bureau of Prisons to be recognized as female

An MS-13 gang member who is serving time for murder filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and the Bureau of Prisons, demanding they recognize the inmate as a "woman" despite being born male.

Oscar Contreras Aguilar was sentenced to 21-years in prison for the 2016 murders of a 14-year-old and 17-year-old Edvin Mendez. The gang member killed the teenagers over the belief they were cooperating with law enforcement, per the Daily Wire.

Contreras Aguilar filed the lawsuit last month, claiming the bureau and Trump have “refused to recognize” his gender identity. The inmate changed his name to Fendi G. Skyy in 2024 and identified as female. Contreras Aguilar then complained that transgender inmates were mistreated in comparison to other prisoners.

“Transgender women prisoners in men’s prisons,” he claimed in the July filing, are often met with “harsher, more degrading treatment than their cisgender counterparts.”

The inmate also claimed that several other MS-13 gang members have attempted to kill him because he worked as an FBI informant in 2016 and 2017.

The lawsuit was filed in Florida. Contreras Aguilar is currently serving the sentence at Coleman Correctional in Florida.
