Harris completed the ACLU questionnaire while she was running to win the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2020 presidential election. The questionnaire started making the rounds in August as Harris' campaign for the 2024 election took off.
In the questionnaire, Harris was asked if, as president, she would use executive authority to ensure transgender and nonbinary people under state care, including those in prisons and immigration detention centers, have access to comprehensive medical treatments associated with gender transition. (Related: Kamala Harris to reduce illegal immigration by LEGALIZING it, not stopping it.)
Harris affirmed her support, stating, "Yes."
"It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition. That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates," she explained in a detailed follow-up. "Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment."
The 2019 ACLU questionnaire also revealed Harris' stance on several left-wing issues.
Besides endorsing surgeries for transgender detainees, Harris also voiced support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use and substantial cuts to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding, including a pledge to "end" immigration detention.
In that same questionnaire, Harris advocated for ending immigration detention facilities and private prisons, reducing funding for ICE and halting ICE detainers. Harris described the U.S. immigrant detention system as "out of control" and called for an end to the "unfair incarceration" of thousands of individuals, families and children.
Harris also cited her early opposition to increased ICE funding following the election of former President Donald Trump in 2017. In 2018, Harris introduced the Detention Oversight, Not Expansion (DONE) Act, which seeks to increase oversight of ICE detention facilities, reduce detention by at least 50 percent and prevent the construction or expansion of new facilities. She also pledged to end the use of ICE detainers at the time.
"As president, I will focus enforcement on increasing public safety, not tearing apart immigrant families. This includes requiring ICE to obtain a warrant where probable cause exists as to end the use of detainers," she wrote.
The questionnaire also revealed Harris' progressive stance on drug policy reform. She called for the decriminalization of all drug possession for personal use and co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act to legalize marijuana federally. In her response to the ACLU, Harris stressed treating drug addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.
"Throughout my career, I have supported treating drug addiction as a public health issue, focusing on rehabilitation over incarceration for drug-related offenses," she wrote.

Laura, Mike,
First of all, this KamHarr flip flops more than pancakes on the griddle at Denny's, although I don't thk she's changed her Pander to the Troons song much since 2019.
One good thing is taxpayers won't havta pay for many "bottom surgeries" bc most of those deluded men who want to be women don't get "bottom surgery". They just want to put on womanface and get in women's prison when they are caught perving as pervs will.
"Transition treatment is a medical necessity,..." No. Transition is BS. Transition treatment is pandering to delusion.
Does US Law Enforcement need "probable cause" for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who are engaged in criminal activity? That's disgusting.Whose country is this? Law enforcement protects who?
Kam Harr has been corrupt way before this "border czar" business. I wish media would DIG DEEPER into her past shenanigans in SF and CA.
