Woman objected to trans sex offender roommate — then she was sent back to prison, legal group says
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A woman was allegedly sent back to a federal prison after objecting to rooming with a biological male sex offender at a Rhode Island halfway house, according to a public records request obtained by Fox News Digital.
The conservative America First Legal asked the Bureau of Prisons on Monday in a public records request, obtained by Fox News Digital, for information about the re-incarceration of Sarah Cavanaugh, who had been serving out the remainder of her sentence at Houston House, a halfway house in Rhode Island operated by the nonprofit Community Resources for Justice.
The request raised concerns about whether Bureau of Prisons contractors were complying with President Donald Trump’s day-one directive that agencies make sure biological men are not detained in women’s prisons, part of the administration’s broader effort to tighten policies surrounding transgender people.
«Men should not share intimate spaces with women; this includes in our federal prisons,» Emily Percival, AFL senior counsel, said in a statement. «The BOP has a duty to provide for the safekeeping, care, and protection of federal inmates.»

Percival accused the Bureau of Prisons of «[shirking its] duty when it allowed its contractor to send a woman back to prison after she raised concerns with sharing a room with a biological male convicted of a heinous sex crime.»
Cavanaugh, who had been sentenced to about six years in prison in 2023 for a stolen valor conviction, was transferred to Houston House by the Bureau of Prisons after the agency determined she was a good candidate for the move. While there, Cavanaugh learned last August that she would be assigned a new roommate named Haley Lynn Rose, according to AFL’s records request. After searching the name online, Cavanaugh discovered the individual was named Anthony Ninfo, a male who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in 2024.
Cavanaugh raised concerns with staff, expressing discomfort about sharing a room with a man convicted of a sex offense, AFL’s filing said. Staff told her to follow up with the facility’s management, but the following day she was instead given an accusatory incident report charging that she had violated conditions of being at the halfway house, according to AFL.
The incident report said, according to AFL, that Cavanaugh created «a hostile environment for the [transgender felon], and [overstepped] boundaries by inquiring about the gender identity, genitalia, charges, and room assignment of another Houston House resident.»

The report stated that «asserting [sic] preferences regarding room assignments is inappropriate.»

As a result of the incident, Cavanaugh’s placement at the halfway house was revoked, and she was returned to prison for six months, AFL said.
The legal group wrote in its complaint that the alleged incident was at odds with Trump’s executive order titled «Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,» which states that only two sexes exist and that inmates must be separated by sex.
The case comes amid ongoing legal challenges from civil rights groups over the implementation of Trump’s order. While some provisions have faced lawsuits, courts have allowed certain aspects affecting prison housing policies to move forward.

Citing the Freedom of Information Act, AFL asked the Bureau of Prisons for records related to staff interactions with Cavanaugh, the incident report issued to her, actions taken against her, and the Bureau of Prisons’ contractual relationship with Houston House.
The Bureau of Prisons said in a statement to Fox News Digital that it could not provide more information on Cavanaugh because of privacy reasons.
«For privacy, safety, and security reasons, the BOP does not release information regarding the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual,» a BOP spokesperson said. «However, we can share that the BOP is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all individuals in our population, our employees, and the public. Humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority. The BOP is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, impartiality, and professionalism in the operation of its facilities.»
Fox News Digital reached out to the Houston House and Community Resources for Justice for comment.

EN VIVO | El acuerdo de paz entre EEUU e Irán será firmado el próximo viernes 19 de junio en Ginebra
Después de mucha expecativa, el primer ministro de Pakistán, Shehbaz Sharif, anunció este domingo que Estados Unidos e Irán llegaron a un “acuerdo de paz” que detiene de inmediato todas las operaciones militares en Medio Oriente, incluído el Líbano.
De acuerdo a lo detallado por Sharif, la firma del pacto tendrá lugar en Ginebra el próximo 19 de junio.
“Con el acuerdo ya en vigor, los mediadores facilitarán una serie de reuniones esta semana. Estos debates previos a la implementación sentarán las bases para las conversaciones técnicas y la ceremonia oficial de firma”, escribió en X el mandatario paquistaní, mediador clave entre Washington y Teherán.
Apenas minutos después, el presidente Donald Trump anunció que el acuerdo negociado con Irán “ya está completo” y ordenó la reapertura inmediata del estrecho de Ormuz y el levantamiento del bloqueo naval estadounidense que permanecía vigente en la región.
En las próximas horas el presidente norteamericano viajará a Francia para participar del G7, en Evián, por lo que hay expectativa por su posible presencia el viernes en Suiza para ser él quien firme acuerdo.
A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto de la nueva coyuntura en Medio Oriente:
Nuevo mensaje de Trump
Momentos después del anuncio del acuerdo con Irán, el presidente Trump volvió a usar sus redes sociales para destacar la gestión de su administración, y afirmó que este pacto traerá “paz” a Medio Oriente.
“Este gran acuerdo traerá paz y seguridad a toda la región”, sostuvo en su mensaje publicado en Truth Social.
“Muchos presidentes han intentado alcanzar la paz con Irán, y todos han fracasado antes que yo. Los líderes de la región han encontrado, por primera vez, a un presidente que puede ayudarles a lograr una paz verdadera. Con la apertura del estrecho tras la firma del acuerdo el viernes, con el fin de retirar las minas, ¡el petróleo volverá a fluir por ambos extremos para la región y para el mundo!“.
Irán dice que el acuerdo pone fin a la guerra
El viceministro de asuntos exteriores del régimen iraní, Kazem Gharibabadi, declaró en la noche del domingo que el acuerdo con Estados Unidos pone “fin inmediatamente a la guerra”.
“En primer lugar, el fin inmediato y definitivo de la guerra y de las operaciones militares en los diferentes frentes, incluido el Líbano”, señaló el diplomático, especialista en cuestiones jurídicas, en la televisión estatal.
Asimismo, afirmó que Teherán salió vencedor de la guerra con Israel y Estados Unidos: “El enemigo, que atacó para llevar a cabo sus designios malintencionados, ha visto todos sus objetivos reducidos a la nada, y la República Islámica de Irán ha logrado grandes victorias en esta guerra”.
Macron dijo que el acuerdo será tratado en el G7
Las grandes potencias del G7 discutirán a partir del lunes en Evian, Francia, las “consecuencias” del acuerdo entre Estados Unidos e Irán y la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz, dijo el domingo el presidente Emmanuel Macron.
“El objetivo será ver las consecuencias de este acuerdo, el apoyo al Líbano, la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz a largo plazo y, obviamente, la conclusión de un acuerdo sobre el programa nuclear y balístico en Irán”, dijo el mandatario francés en un video publicado en su Instagram.
Macron recibirá el lunes en la ciudad a orillas del lago Lemán a Donald Trump y a los líderes de Alemania, Canadá, Italia, Japón y Reino Unido.
JD Vance asistirá a la firma del acuerdo en Suiza
El vicepresidente norteamericano declaró este domingo que tenía previsto asistir a la firma del acuerdo de paz con Irán en Suiza dentro de unos días, pero que el presidente Donald Trump podría acudir.

Khamenei’s ‘target-rich’ funeral is Iran’s biggest security gamble, sends message to US: expert
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iran’s decision to hold a July funeral for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a high-stakes bet that any emerging peace deal with the United States will hold, potentially creating a «target-rich» gathering of Tehran’s most isolated leaders, a counterterrorism expert warned Sunday.
The multi-day state funeral, announced by Iranian state media on June 13, is scheduled to begin in Tehran on July 4 and end with Khamenei’s burial in the holy city of Mashhad on July 9, Reuters reported.
According to Dr. Omar Mohammed, director of the Antisemitism Research Initiative at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, the timing serves as a deliberate message to America.
«A mass funeral is the most target-rich event this regime could stage, and now they would not risk one until they are confident it wouldn’t be hit,» Mohammed told Fox News Digital.

«But it is the staging of this funeral that is the message, and the message is aimed at America as much as at Iranians.»
The announcement also coincided with a major diplomatic breakthrough, coming as President Donald Trump announced that a peace deal with Tehran is expected to be signed Sunday.
«The regime could sign a deal that lets it keep its leverage, then bury its leader as the victor who won it,» Mohammed said.
«Announcing the funeral Saturday as Pakistan said the final text of a deal was reached and signing is close, is their bet that the ceasefire holds into July.»
Khamenei was killed on Feb. 28 during the opening salvo of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes against Iran, ending a 36-year tenure leading the Islamic Republic. He was 86.
Experts say the regime is using the four-month delay since the February strikes to completely reframe the narrative of the conflict.
«Khamenei goes into the ground as a man America murdered, so the deal becomes a tactical pause — revenge deferred, not abandoned,» Mohammed observed. «The deeper logic is that you bury the leader as a victor, not a victim.»
«They can now stage the funeral as the war’s victory monument: the martyred Imam laid to rest as the man whose resistance forced America to terms,» Mohammed added.
«The four-month delay was not only security. It was waiting for a win to bury him.»

Following three days of public ceremonies in Tehran, the procession will move to the clerical heartland of Qom on July 7 before concluding in Mashhad on July 9.
Analysts note the dates heavily leverage deep Shia religious iconography, falling directly within the holy mourning month of Muharram.
«This is also a staged passion play, not a schedule because the dates fall within Muharram, the Shia mourning month centered on Imam Hussein’s martyrdom at Karbala, and the burial on July 9 is timed to the eve of another Imam’s martyrdom,» Mohammed said.
«The body goes into the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad — the only one of the 12 Imams buried in Iran, and the holiest site in Iranian Shiism — giving the regime a permanent martyr’s shrine and mobilization site for years.»
Mohammed noted that scheduling the opening ceremonies on the 250th anniversary of America’s Independence Day carries deliberate geopolitical signaling.
«The regime had room to choose which Muharram days and, at a minimum, it’s a message they are happy to broadcast; very possibly it’s the point — while America marks 250 years, Iran opens the funeral of the leader America killed and calls it the beginning of its victory.»

The highly public, multi-city route presents a massive security vulnerability for Iran’s new leadership.
Khamenei’s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has remained entirely in hiding due to targeted security threats and reported injury since the war began.
«By every tradition, the son leads the prayers and stands at the grave; it is the act that consecrates the succession,» Mohammed noted.
«But Mojtaba has not appeared in public since the war began, runs the country by courier, and is a designated target — and a funeral is a pre-announced time and place. For a man whose every confirmed sighting is a coordinate, July 9 in Mashhad is the most dangerous appointment of his rule.»

«The regime is boxed: It needs the son at the father’s grave to crown the dynasty, but putting him there exposes him as never before,» Mohammed concluded.
«If he appears, it’s his first sighting and a gamble; if he doesn’t, the dynasty is consecrated by an absence.»

Trump marks 80th birthday, now second octogenarian sitting president: ‘Seemed to utterly defy age’
Trump sets record with 22-specialist physical exam
Fox News senior medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel breaks down Trump’s recent physical, noting his heart health is comparable to someone 14 years younger. The record-setting 22-specialist examination results fuel debate on presidential health, ageism and transparency ahead of his 80th birthday.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump turned 80 on Sunday, becoming only the second sitting U.S. president to reach octogenarian status in the Oval Office, leaving even his onetime political opponents marveling at his defying the effects of Father Time – even if his critics continue to share concerns they never had with the older former President Joe Biden, now 83.
«You don’t have to wish me a happy birthday, because I’m not happy about that birthday that I’m having,» Trump joked with Dr. Mehmet Oz, 66, in an Oval Office video shared Thursday on Instagram. «It’s a number I haven’t thought too much about.
«It’s not a number I like, but I’m here nevertheless.»
Trump’s White House is celebrating his keeping up the fight with an Ultimate Fighting Championship on the South Lawn.

«At least to date, he has seemed to utterly defy age,» said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The 55-year-old Cruz was a target of Trump’s political fire a decade ago on the opposite side of the Republican presidential primary race.
«I don’t know where he gets the energy that he displays, but he is up early in the morning and late at night,» Cruz added.
Trump, born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, crossed the threshold previously reached by Biden, who turned 80 in 2022 while serving in the White House. Trump was already the oldest president ever sworn into office when he began his second term in January 2025 at age 78.

«He has gained in stamina as he has gotten older,» former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, 82, said recently.
Unlike Biden, whose age and mental acuity became a central political liability before he left office, Trump and his allies have repeatedly pointed to the president’s busy public schedule, frequent media appearances and hands-on governing style as evidence that he remains active and engaged.
Trump hailed his latest physical by White House Dr. Sean Barbabella declaring him to be in «exceptional» health and his cardiac age being «approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.»
TRUMP DECLARED ‘FULLY FIT’ FOR ALL PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES AFTER ANNUAL PHYSICAL SHOWS ‘EXCELLENT HEALTH’
«They said I’m very healthy,» Trump told «Pod Force One with Miranda Devine» earlier this month, saying he has «an obligation» to give periodic cognitive reports on his mental acuity after Biden’s administration.
«I took a test and cognitive test and I got 100% on it. I got as the expression goes: I aced it. And the doctors told me it’s very, very few people can ace. That’s actually a tough test.»
Trump noted Biden was able to skirt potential prosecution for retention of classified documents because special counsel Robert Hur declared Biden to be a «sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.»

«I have a great memory,» Trump told Devine. «Look, so far so good. I hope I’m going to keep it that way.
«If I don’t, you’ll be the first to know. You’ll say [after] this interview: ‘This isn’t the same Trump; I think he’s lost it.’»
The White House has also sought to bolster that message with medical updates. Trump’s physician said the president remains in «excellent health» and «fully fit» to carry out the duties of commander-in-chief.
«Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence,’» the post began.
«Are the Dumocrats really surprised?»
WHITE HOUSE PROVIDES TRUMP HEALTH UPDATE AFTER MRI SCAN CONCERNS SWIRLED
Trump has long cast his stamina as a political asset, regularly contrasting his pace and public visibility with Biden’s more limited appearances during his presidency. Supporters say the difference is clear: Trump remains outspoken, combative and highly visible as he enters his ninth decade.
Some Democrats have seized on images of Trump’s bruising of his hand and with his eyes closed during meetings and lengthy Cabinet news conferences, which Trump has noted provide unprecedented transparency and access to the administration lasting up to three hours of live back-and-forth.
«That’s false: I’ve never seen him fall asleep,» Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 25 years Trump’s junior and another one-time target of Trump’s political opposition, told a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing this month.

«On the contrary, the guy doesn’t sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at 2 in the morning. He calls me at 5 in the morning. And, you know, I like to sleep a little bit, maybe not 12 hours, but at least six. So he works. The other day he was at the Oval Office until 12:30 a.m.
«I don’t know what you’re talking about.»
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., 74, rejected age getting in Trump’s way like it did for Biden, saying that «just because you’re 80 doesn’t mean you’re falling apart.»

Trump’s birthday also arrives during a historically unusual stretch for America’s aging political class. Three baby boomer presidents — Trump, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush — all turn 80 in 2026. The latter two are long removed from active public service.
Trump is not looking to just rest after the UFC fight on the South Lawn on Sunday night. He plans to then travel early Monday to France for the annual G7 summit.
