From Fox News: On his first day in office, Scott Turner made a bold move as Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
He directed agency staff to suspend all pending and future enforcement actions related to the Obama-era Equal Access Rule, which required HUD-funded programs and shelters to determine eligibility based on a person’s self-identified gender.
Turner said that the move was part of President Donald Trump’s agenda to “restore biological truth to the federal government.”
“We want to protect the ladies entering any HUD facilities,” Turner told reporters Thursday, adding that he wants to “restore equal rights, but no extra rights.” The Secretary added that most of the females who utilize HUD shelters already come from domestic violence situations, and he wants to ensure that their tragedies are not exacerbated when they turn to the federal government for help.
WATCH:
HUD announced, “Secretary Turner issued an order to halt any pending or future enforcement actions related to HUD’s 2016 Equal Access rule on “Gender Identity.” This will ensure HUD funded programs and shelters offer services to Americans based on sex at birth: male or female.”
