One of President Donald Trump’s second-term priorities has been enacting policies aimed at protecting females from trans-identifying males seeking to invade gender-segregated spaces like locker rooms and sports teams.
Just days after his inauguration, he also signed an executive order restricting the military service of transgender individuals.
A district judge recently intervened in an effort to thwart the Pentagon’s effort, sparking backlash from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, among others:

And as The Federalist reported, information about D.C. District Court Judge Ana Reyes prior political donations and activities have only increased the outrage among supporters of the Trump administration:
According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Reyes has collectively given thousands of dollars to various Democrat candidates and causes throughout her professional career.
During her time working as a private lawyer, she donated to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama (2012), Hillary Clinton (2008 and 2016), Kamala Harris (2020), and Joe Biden (2020). She’s additionally shelled out money to several Democrat House and Senate candidates, including the campaigns of Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Reyes’ financial support for Democrats also extends to left-wing political action committees.
From 2021-2022, she gave more than $1,700 to Defeat by Tweet, which is “a Democratic-aligned super PAC that allows liberal donors to sign up to contribute as little as 1 cent to political organizers in battleground states for each time President Donald Trump posts to Twitter,” according to InfluenceWatch. The organization was reportedly launched with assistance from Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
According to its website, Defeat by Tweet has closed its operations since the 2024 election, with the group reallocating its “final resources and support” to Black Church PAC. The latter organization seeks to “mobiliz[e] churches and leaders nationwide to reclaim political power, fight [so-called] voter suppression, end mass incarceration, and heal communities impacted by gun violence.”
In 2020, Reyes gave numerous donations to Win the Era, a political action committee founded by failed 2020 presidential candidate and later Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Since at least 2013, Reyes has also given dozens of small-dollar donations to ActBlue, a Democrat-aligned fundraising platform that is the subject of congressional and state investigations over allegations that it allowed unlawful foreign monies to fund left-wing political causes.
Her interference was the topic of significant social media discussion over the past couple of days:
NEW: District Judge Ana C. Reyes has blocked the Trump admin from banning transgenders from the military.

WTF?! A federal judge has just ordered Pete Hegseth to RETRACT a post about disqualifying transgender troops from service
This same Biden judge, Ana Reyes, ALSO said the idea of two sexes is “not biologically correct.”
This is a BLATANT LIE.

Given the nature of the issue at hand, it’s worth noting that Biden-appointed judge’s status as a member of the LGBT community was a huge selling point when she was first nominated about three years ago.
As The Hill reported at the time:
President Biden has nominated another slate of federal judicial judges, and this time, if confirmed, the U.S. could have its first Hispanic woman to ever serve on a U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the court’s first openly LGBTQ person.
Biden introduced his 17th round of nominees for federal judicial positions this week and his fifth slate of nominations this year alone to fill judicial vacancies. To date, the president has announced 95 federal judicial nominees.
Of his latest round of nominees, Ana C. Reyes stands to make history. She’s currently a partner at the Washington, D.C., law firm Williams & Connolly LLP, where she’s worked since 2001. She focuses on cross-border litigation and international arbitration, while also taking on pro bono work to represent asylum seekers and refugee organizations.
Reyes herself is an immigrant, born in Uruguay and moved to Louisville, Ky. According to the White House, Reyes is also openly LGBTQ, and, if confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, she would be the first one in history to ever serve on that court.
