The FBI has launched a criminal probe into three children's hospitals for allegedly practicing "female mutilation," which would be in defiance of federal statute, sources told Fox News. The hospitals under investigation, which are among the most prominent providers of child sex change procedures, include Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Boston Children's Hospital, and Children's Hospital Colorado.
The federal probe, under FBI Director Kash Patel's leadership, comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted that the Trump administration was committed to enforcing federal statutes against female mutilation in order to protect children from permanent sex change surgeries.
Attorney General Pam Bondi was assigned the responsibility of revising the Justice Department's enforcement of the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) law and prioritizing enforcement in response to President Trump's executive order, titled "Protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation." In April, Bondi issued a memo to US attorneys encouraging them to conduct such investigations. She stated at the time that the act of performing FGM is a felony punishable by a maximum of 10 years in prison per count.
