A transgender woman inmate serving her sentence in a women’s federal prison sued the Trump administration on Sunday, arguing that Republican U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order narrowly defining sex violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, is “motivated by discriminatory animus” toward trans people, and forces “dangerous transfers to men’s facilities.”

The suit is against Trump administration in relation to an executive order, not him personally (civilly or criminally).
