Bondi memo lays out directives to protect children from chemical, surgical mutilation
April 28, 2025
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memorandum last week, detailing a number of objectives by which the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will implement President Trump’s executive order to protect children from chemical castration and surgical mutilation.
The Christian Post reports that Bondi has instructed all DOJ employees to “enforce rigorous protections and hold accountable those who prey on vulnerable children and their parents.”
Bondi’s memo also instructs the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs to “[promote] new legislation protecting children” that would “establish a long statute of limitations and retroactive liability, so that no one providing such ‘treatment’ will escape liability.”
The memo calls for enforcement of laws prohibiting “female genital mutilation” and for investigation of “violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and False Claims Act” in regards to the long-term side effects of chemical and surgical mutilations.
Bondi also announced that she would be working “with members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to bring this bill to President Trump as soon as possible,” and with legislators to enact similar laws at the state level.
According to the Christian Post, Bondi noted that gender ideology has captured much of popular culture and has exploded among young people.
The Attorney General described gender ideology as a larger attack on children, saying, “Protecting America’s children must be a top priority, whether from drug cartels, terrorists, or even our own medical community,” Bondi said. “Every day, we hear more harrowing stories about children who will suffer for the rest of their lives because of the unconscionable ideology behind ‘gender-affirming care.'”
President Trump, who ran on a promise to protect children from mutilation, issued an executive order in January clarifying that the U.S. government “will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
