The Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation found it had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, multiple media outlets reported. The government's proposal makes additional demands related to the administration's rollback of transgender rights, which Trump and his allies say they're doing to protect women. CNN reported that the proposal would ensure single-sex housing for women on campus and require UCLA's hospital and medical school to stop providing gender-affirming care. California Governor Gavin Newsom torched the Trump administration over the proposed settlement, telling reporters: "He has threatened us through extortion with a billion-dollar fine unless we do his bidding. We will not be like some of those other institutions that have followed a different path."

Donald Trump's latest extortion gambit against a university that doesn't toe his ideological/political line.

Via his weaponization of government, Trump has previously extorted Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and other liberal universities.
