A gynecologist at a California prison sexually abused people in custody for years, subjecting them to “horrific, sadistic” mistreatment under the guise of medical care, according to a lawsuit filed by six women this week.

The class-action complaint announced on Wednesday alleges that Dr Scott Lee, a 70-year-old OB-GYN, repeatedly sexually harassed and physically abused his patients behind bars at the California Institution for Women (CIW) from 2016 to 2023 while he was the sole gynecologist on staff.

A 93-page complaint filed in federal court details allegations that Lee conducted abusive exams and coercive procedures, refused to stop exams when patients were in pain, forcibly restrained them when they expressed discomfort, made inappropriate and sexualized comments and retaliated against incarcerated victims who complained about his mistreatment.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from moving transgender women to men's prisons and ending their gender-affirming care.

Employees must be available by phone and email during business hours, according to the notice, which provides an email for them to contact “to end that.”

The letters come after most USAID employees lost access to internal systems over the weekend as Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency put the agency through a “woodchipper.”

On Tuesday, President Trump will sign an executive order that will pull the U.S. out of the United Nations Human Rights Council, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly ahead of the announcement.

During his first term as president, Trump also cut ties with the UNHRC, an organization that U.S. leaders from both parties have long said has a bias against Israel.

The order will also cut future funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides aid to Palestinians. The Biden administration paused funding to UNRWA while the war between Israel and Hamas was ongoing, after accusations from Israel that some staffers from the agency had ties to Hamas. But an independent review found that there was no evidence to back that up. UNRWA is the main agency providing relief to Palestinians in Gaza.r

The Trump administration has stepped up its attack on Venezuelans living in the US under temporary deportation protections, revoking the right to stay of more than 300,000 people.

Now Trump has targeted a subset of that Venezuelan immigrant community who entered the TPS program in 2023, obtaining the right to remain in the US until at least April. Having revoked their protections, the Trump administration is giving that group of more than 300,000 Venezuelans just 60 days before they become vulnerable to deportation.

A further 250,000 Venezuelans who arrived in 2021 have TPS protections until September. Their position beyond that date must now be considered to be in severe jeopardy.

Gaza’s border with Egypt is reopening to allow sick and wounded Palestinians to leave, officials said Friday, after more than eight months during which many who have needed medical care were trapped.

Reopening the crossing at Rafah, which has long been Gaza’s lifeline to the outside world, is a key stipulation of the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas. Mediators hope that the agreement, which has begun with a 42-day cease-fire and hostage-for-prisoner swaps, will ultimately end the devastating 15-month-long war in Gaza.
