A group of activists is pursuing legal action to prevent the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive order 14,168. Among those involved is Oscar Contreras Aguilar, a member of the infamous gang MS-13, who was indicted in connection with the murders of two teenage boys in Virginia.
Aguilar’s legal complaints come alongside accusations against Trump related to his treatment in prison. He claims that he has not been recognized according to his gender identity, which has resulted in distress during his incarceration. The remains of the two victims were found buried in a Virginia park, having been reported missing in 2016.
Aguilar’s violent background includes accusations of participating in conspiracies to commit murder, and he faces several charges stemming from these activities. It’s noted that, at the time of the murders, many of the gang members involved were undocumented immigrants.
Despite his past, Aguilar, who now identifies as Fendii G. Skyy, is challenging Trump’s policies that he believes directly affect transgender individuals like him. The executive order in question aims to limit federal funding related to transgender-related procedures, which Aguilar argues is discriminatory.
His lawsuit seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions to stop the enforcement of this order, claiming it violates his rights. He asserts that the restrictions have led to a halt in his hormone treatment and has caused emotional distress, primarily because he feels misgendered by prison staff.
Additionally, there’s a complexity to Aguilar’s situation. While he claims victimization in the prison system, his past as a gang member, including his direct involvement in heinous criminal activities, complicates the narrative. Reports suggest he has openly confessed to his violent past, raising questions about the validity of his victim claims in light of his actions.
