The New Yorker and The Atlantic both claimed that former President Donald Trump’s claim that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to do “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” had no basis.

Verdict: False

Trump’s claim is based on a 2019 American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire that asked Harris if she would support paying for transgender surgeries for detained migrants. She answered yes. Her campaign has not stated whether or not she supports that now.
